Comment on Commuter train window cleaning conundrum in NJparent

Comments

The windows have to comply with the safety standards. Do countries like Indian and China have the same safety standards?

Literally “the same”, no, but look at the track records of literally any country and you’ll find that they remain far safer (and in China’s case, orders of magnitude) more reliable and safe than whatever train wreck is going on in the USA.

(Believe the statistics or not, comparing the antique, hardly used, minuscule network of the USA to the state of the art, enormous, and insanely heavily utilized Chinese railways is pretty hilarious hubris for Americans, and I’m speaking as one—who left the country, though)
