When I was in San Francisco we took the bart system (train) to Oakland to catch a raiders game. It was my first train experience outside of Calgary or an airport and I was blown away at the speeds these things come in at.
That said, I went quite a distance in no time. Slowing down prior to the stations would drastically slow the commute times. Its a question of what is more important to these systems...efficiency or however many lives are taken.
