Southern California has the Metrolink. Lots of middle-class professional people in the LA metro area use it to commute - so much so that it's packed for rush hour. They also use the LA subway. They are not going to be impressed by this piece.

Ironically the Los Angeles light rail system has had two major fatal crashes in the past 5 or 6 years.  One incident where a person parked their SUV on the tracks, purportedly to kill themself, then fled the car at last minute, train crashed killing like 20 people.  Then just last year a train operator was text messaging with some train-enthusiast kids he had befriended, ran a series of red lights and crashed the train, killing 5-10 people if I recall correctly.

But, you know, they should fear criminals and terrorists in train stations.
