I catch the train at City Hall station, can't believe how many dummies I see jaywalking across that intersection by the library there, especially when a train's coming. It's practically every day. I'm actually surprised there isn't more deaths by C-train.
Just yesterday this scrubby looking guy was sauntering across there in his own little world, meanwhile the train is blasting his horn repeatedly. Finally the guy looks up, snaps back to earth and books it the rest of the way across. How do you even fully stop those people?
Feels bad to say, but purposely jaywalking across an intersection with train tracks and not paying attention at all is the epitome of a Darwin award. I've noticed the trains pulling out of that station tend to blast their horns even when no-one's on the tracks, they're clearly very paranoid about it.
