Not from Vancouver but this seems like a good idea. Is track invasion a common enough problem to justify the cost in your experience?
2 0 ReplyA few weeks back I was out with my kids and heard about someone jumping in front of the train that day.
All I could think was: what if a kid was sitting up front enjoying the ride and looking at the tracks? How would I deal with that if it were my kid?
Sounds like a justified cost to me.
6 0 ReplyGotta be honest, I didn't even think about people killing themselves I was thinking more people trying to do graffiti. Yeah that seems a justified cost

I've definitely seen trains get stopped for such reasons... I really feel for the people who have to clean it up.

I also hear people with no easy options will still find a way to accomplish their last goals.
2 0 ReplyHow are they going to end up on the tracks? Doors open after train stops and closes before train starts.
1 0 ReplyI'm not saying it'll be easy. Wasn't it stadium where a guy hopped a barrier and fell onto the tracks from above?
And each minute inside that aquarium will be so comfy in the summer.

1 0 ReplyYou're saying "glass it up and A/C the place" as if that's not like shooting oneself in the foot because crutches are fun?
