Callie Markantonis previously noted that Metro posted a press release on its website on October 19 praising itself for breaking its safety record.
She snarkily wondered if Lucas Wall might explain the “safety record” to us in light of the train’s crash rate.
Lo and behold, it’s only five days since the press release, and Wall has finally reported on the press release. We would call it “olds” but he does offer the following useful, new information:
Metro’s light rail line, however, had a crash rate of more than 10 per 100,000 miles traveled in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30.
The Main Street line, which opened Jan. 1, is on pace to set record highs nationally for collisions.
It’s just a record-breaking year for Metro!
