Speed Up the Trains...Make Everyone Jump Off
Is your train not stopping where you want? There's an easy solution. Jump off.
The Boston Globe reports that a teenager jumped from a moving commuter rail train is Boston yesterday when a conductor told him that the train he was on was an Express train and would be missing his stop. Among other things, he blamed the uninteligible announcements and the fact that the conductor didn't tell him how to get back to his intended stop from the end of the line.
Back in college, a friend of mine took a MARC train from D.C., intending to ride it to Baltimore. Unfortunately, she got on the Frederick line, and ended up somewhere in West Virginia. A $90 cab ride later, she made it to Baltimore. At least she didn't jump off a moving train.
