>responsible for the lives of literally a million people on an average month
Even in 2019, BART never cracked more than 500K station exits per month, and now it is well below half that number[0]. And of those monthly rides, surely a majority of them were the same people taking multiple rides.
Additionally, even a fatal flaw in the software would most likely not result in every one on every train simultaneously dying or even being injured.

I'm glad you're so willing to play fast and loose with safety, but I'm not. Not to mention the impact due to lack of trust when an accident happens! I'll leave train systems to engineers who are rigorously testing their implementations, not you, thanks :)
