Bus VS Light Rail, who wins??? (Houston, Tx)
Posted by GoneSouth on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 3:48 PM

The Houston's smashers are still at work. Yesterday, a Metro bus ran a red light and was struck by Metro Light Rail.  Luckly no serious injuries.

Note that the Light Rail's front trucks are totally off the track. Took about six hours to get this mess cleaned up and the Light rail re-railed.

Who wins, definitely not the Tax-payers.
