Now do the hazards of transit in which you accurately depict how monorails have the potential for incredibly tragic death for people falling out of it if it’s overcrowded because ‘EMISSIONS’ cuz while we can talk public transport we better talk about the severely lacking supportive infrastructure for everyone going back to work when they could be perfectly fine working at home but oh no someone claimed we create just as much emissions staying at home but that is clearly ignoring that transit also creates emissions.
Which cities are building transit that one can fall out of?
The closest I have seen is the incredibly crowded tube lines in London, where one may be pushed out on a platform other than which they want
If you ever see a sign that says ‘don’t lean on door’ it actually means “don’t let people crowd so hard against you that you fall out the door” is more accurate of the scenario that happens. There are no bouncers on transit that can stop too many people getting on a vessel. There is also no limit on population. There is also no law stating “not everyone should show up at work at 9am exactly”
