Someone else got hit by a Metrolink train. When are they going to start making safety a priority?

I've said it before but I'll say it again (and again, and again, and again): Metro and Bi-State Development Agency need to be separated. Metro should be about public transportation, NOT business "development". People that actually understand the needs of Public Transit riders needs to be in charge. Not men like John Nations who are simply grooming their bid for State Senate and padding their campaign funds.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SHOULD BE PUBLICLY OWNED. ROUTES SHOULD SERVE THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST, AND NOT THE "PARK AND RIDE" CROWD OR TO REDUCE TRAFFIC CONGESTION. ELECTION DAYS AND FOURTH OF JULY SHOULD BE FREE FARE DAYS. EVERY SINGLE CITIZEN SHOULD HAVE A PERSONAL TAP PASS THAT MAXES OUT AT $78 EACH AND EVERY MONTH. SHELTERS FOR WEATHER, BATHROOMS AND DRINKING FOUNTAINS SHOULD BE REQUIRED. DISCOUNT PASSES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE THAT IS LOW INCOME OR ON PUBLIC ASSISTANCE.
