As a follow-up to some of the questions and possibilities regarding safety posed by this incident, here is an article from today's Calgary Sun by Michael Platt "Nothing is Perfectly Safe."
Quote:
Facts are heartless when measured against tragedy, but the truth is, trying to fix this perceived LRT platform flaw is a waste of time and money.
A robotic barrier of plexiglass would cost millions to install at every station on the Calgary system, and there are no guarantees it wouldn’t pose new safety concerns of its own.
