Re: $787K Study Seeks to Find Ways to Encourage Subway Riders to Ride LIRR and MNRR

Are there never any emergencies on European or Asian trains? None of this are unique to the LIRR or Metro-North. Besides, the engineer is still on the train, and could still be reached through the intercom and can stop the train and tend to any critical emergencies if need be.

Further, unless the conductor moonlights as a physician or a bouncer, what are they going to do in an emergency anyways? They're not going to perform heart surgery or breakup a fight...all they normally do (and all they can really be expected to do) is call the police or EMS, which the engineperson can do just as effectively.
