" . . . the ignorant motoring Public" -Sgt. Sam Cox
This was hugely funny, if you happened to be listening to the Morning Show on 590AM this AM.
The local transit agency is planning to hire off-duty Austin policemen, private security guards, AND put their own employees out there, to see that the people comply with the law.
What law, VFD?
The one that says you shouldn't park on railroad tracks.
Yes, seriously. The trains are FINALLY (years late) going to start running, so people in a narrow north/south corridor can commute to hopefully-convenient parts of Austin. They are hoping to NOT knock Houston out of the position of "City with the Highest Number of Car/Train Collisions per Annum." The commuters in cars have a nasty habit of going around guard arms and "oopsy" getting caught in line at a light and stopping on the trax.
The bums passing out drunk on the tracks & getting run over, you can't do much about but that problem sort of takes care of itself anyway, so . . .
