No thanks. I don't want to be at the mercy of some driver who can and will deny people service however and for whatever reason they please.

By law, they can not.

Ohh yes they can, and they do, all the time. Laws can't protect people against their behavior because laws are enforced after the fact. Prevention is key here.

Self-driving future doesn't seem to be that far away, and I imagine it to be even simpler on rails. Either way, the key is to get people off those nasty things they call "cars" and take it from there.

And who cares if they suffer catastrophically as a result?

At this point I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. The picture in the post clearly represents European trams. I have not witnessed one argument with a driver despite using European public transport on a daily basis.

Self driving trains have been around for years
