Ah yes, the exact kind of thinking that's led to this fucked up situation in the first place

0 people died from the derailment. Meanwhile many people have probably died from car accidents. I would have ridden a 7000 the day after the derailment.

Good for you. I'm more inclined to think the bar for the public transit that I ride nearly every day should be higher than "at least it's highly unlikely that it kills me."

Keeping up on training is also how you keep the risk of accidents and other failures low in the long run.

I dont think the training had anything to do with the derailment

The training failure, due in part to a lack of concern for due diligence, is exacerbating the 14 month ripple effects of the derailment, which was also due in part to a lack of concern for due diligence. It's not the cause, but another symptom of the overarching issue.

Not denying the issues. But I need to get to work on time

So do I, but I would think I'm more likely to continue being on time to work now and for years to come if public transit operators actually do the things they are supposed to do.
