If fare evading can get you a ticket of over $200, hitting a train and costing the city so much money in damage and costs to remedy that needs to carry pretty big consequences. I don't know how we do it here in Toronto when this happens, but there is probably a way bigger penalty.
The key is to fine the perpetrators of near misses, not severely punish those who are actually involved in collisions.
Ideally, but anyone who slams on the breaks after a near miss is going to drive off seconds later, and the train will continue on. Unfortunately, you can only challenge those that manage to drive into it. There may be cameras but I can't see them trying to ID every license plate they manage to capture, as that has a lot of complexities. It'll just take time for drivers in this city to get used to this.
