Many police officers watch for vehicles without headlights because it's a telltale of a drunk driver.

Metro, built in the late 20th century, is the most escalator-dependent system in the world.

SafeTrack - I keep saying this - is not going to fix Metro. It's a speeded up track work program, compressing three years of already planned work on the track bed into about a year.

Over the decades, you got various companies involved in making escalators and you've got Metro varying between internal repair crews and contractors. They're dealing with old equipment, which of course is prone to break down, and the repair crews don't even know what's busted or who made the busted parts till they tear the things open. Then sometimes they have to go back to the shop and manufacture parts, because the original maker has gone out of business.

I wish the dashboard indicators for lights were standardized throughout the auto industry.

Seems like people could behave themselves without making a calculation regarding how likely or unlikely they are to kill other people.

If the Metro general manager, Paul Wiedefeld, says those extra hours for maintenance are necessary to help fix the system and make it safer, then that gets top priority.
