I'm less worried about a train derailment or crash. Metro has well-documented safety failures, but if you look at the numbers you're far safer riding a Metro to work than riding a bike or driving a car.
That said, I really think it's a matter of time before overcrowded rush-hour platforms lead to someone falling on the tracks or getting stampeded. I fought thought this crowd this morning: https://twitter.com/wowindc/status/676761566751105025 https://twitter.com/wowindc/status/676761566751105025
- GVIrish 11y agoYeah my rational mind tells me that with 600k people riding the Metro every day, the chances of me actually running into a dangerous incident are fairly small. However, the chances of me running into a lengthy delay are pretty high. The crowding thing at rush hour is a huge pain, usually on the evening commute. Haven't actually ridden Metro since Silver line started up but I can't imagine that has lessened the crush.
