Classy.

My Imaginary GF posted:

You know whats poo poo about modern commuter rail service?

Japanese coding practices. That's right, your train got delayed because the firmware on those Japanese switches had a whole lotta bugs in it.

Now how can you have commuter rail suburbs when you have to deal with Japan offering practically free rolling stock and capital investment for purchase of Japanese trackage and equipment, which you know is going to get people killed? You can't, not in most areas where right of ways have already been converted.

Where do you get the idea that Japanese rail is killing people? It's my understanding that they have some of the safest and most reliable systems in the world. I'd love to see the evidence for your argument that the Japanese are to blame for the problems with modern commercial rail.
