Many of us take riding public transit for granted and assume that we are safe on board. This is an interesting assumption since transit busses and streetcars travel fast, we don’t wear seatbelts, many of us stand on them, and their access stairs and walkways are often wet and slippery. Occasionally we hear of tragedies in which people are either hit by a transit vehicle or they are dragged along under one.
