What are "Indians vs Trains"?....

In India sometimes people ride on top or side and they get picked off or get hit or run over or whatever.
As per this bloke:
The immediate shock hopefully the he didn't feel anything.
A friend of a friend had a mate get hit by a car that careened up on the footpath going like 30 - 40 mph (driver had a heart attack). He got a fractured skull, smashed leg and hip. He survived, lost his foot and lower leg right below the knee, but has 0 recollection of the event. He only remembers getting a text, turns to check it. That's it. Next thing he remembers is being in hospital.

I mean it's pretty self-explanatory. Indians, aka people from India, and while I try to refrain from assuming too much but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you know what a train is

I saw the uncensored version on X and it was gruesome

Yeah I saw it too.
Wish I didn't.

They need to put safety barriers on the platforms.

I don't think that would stop the suicides though, because people can just jump over them

Just make it taller (floor to ceiling) like they do in Asia. Seoul would be a good example.

This has been proposed for years. The cost is over $1 Billion. They could divert the funds from housing all the irregular border crossers in hotels.

Or stop the ret@rded initiatives like renaming Yonge dundas square.

Subway barriers will prevent people from jumping in front of trains but people will just find another way. It is safer for the general public than having someone jump from a bridge and cause a car accident or a building and land on top of someone.

You're assuming every subway fatality is a suicide. They're not.

It would also speed up travel times, because the trains don't have to enter the station at a snails pace.

But as Kona said, it's more important to "decolonize" schools, streets and squares. Think of the children.

That's crazy, I always be careful on the subway, I stay away from the yellow line and look around.

I'm a stand against the wall guy.

No I’m not, just in responding to this particular thread. Majority of injuries/fatalities on the TTC are related to intoxication.No surprise. Dated a Trauma nurse for a long time . Dinner party conversations always turned to entertaining stories that landed stupid people in Emergency, whole or in pieces.

I never get on public transit.
The public is nuts.

Remind me not to take the subway when in NYC

What compels an adult to stand close to the Yellow line?

Naivety, complacency, or stupidity?

There's supposedly 1000 National Guard troops patrolling the NYC subway system. I guess that's not enough of a deterrent.

When it comes to events like this, it's up to the individual to exercise common sense precautions. If you don't stand close to the tracks, you won't end up on them.
