My question is, how do we lobby GRT to drive through, without coming to a complete stop at, these fully controlled intersections?
It does seem overly risk adverse given that:
1) the small amount of rail traffic at that crossing
2) the known schedule of rail traffic (12am to 5am) that does not coincide with GRT service hours along that corridor (6am to 12am)
3) the slow speed of the rail traffic at that crossing
4) the improved barriers at the crossing
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
