I totally disagree. There are good drivers and bad drivers. There are good cyclists and bad cyclists. There are good pedestrians and bad pedestrians.

I'm just curious, and I think I know the answer, but do you guys actually have any clue how many fatalities there are per year on LRT systems in the US? I'm getting the feeling that this is something very few are actually aware of, and are going to be in for a very rude awakening once service starts.
