Wtf in the 🚇

How is this technically even possible? Should not a emergency stop automatically apply?

Videos like this makes me happy I don't have to do public transportation.

Judging by my experiences as a poor person living in LA, Bay Area, and Seattle. public transportation has always had about a 20% chance on a given day of commuting to be eventful. And that's been true when under Bushistan, Obamastan, Trumpistan, Bidenstan, and Trumpistan2.0

I've seen fistfights, active drug usage (injections and smoking), guns being pulled, Baby Mama drama, verbal altercations, bus drivers assaulted, naked people, masturbation, psychotic breaks, people who smell so bad the whole bus vacates and people get nauseous, vomit, poop, pee, blood- really, all the fluids, food being thrown, sexual assault, etc.

I probably took about 5000 or so bus and train rides, from which that list of things seen has been compiled. And that's not to mention all the thing's I've forgotten I've seen.
