Today I was riding my bike and wondering: Why is it that buses have to stop before the train tracks while 18 wheelers don't?
I can see the argument that buses carry several passengers and that it is just a safety precaution to keep everyone safe. BUT, Trucks are (usually) bigger in size and carry important items that supply humans with their everyday needs and wants. Why can't they stop before the tracks? The truck driver and the items are just as important as the passengers on a bus.
Plus, if the tracks bars were to fall down on a bus, the passengers should at least have the smarts to run like hell off of the bus and as far away as possible before the collision time. If that were a truck driver, inanimate objects cannot magically come to life and run away.
Think of all the waste that would create: A waste of money for the items, a waste of time to put those items together, and a waste of a truck driver.
Is it worth all this waste?

It's for the passengers. Children are more important than goods.
ReplyDeleteThe trucker driver and the items are just as important as the passengers on a bus? What? That's about 60 people.
Also, I really like the layout of your blog. Too bad blogs are gay.
