Capitol Metro is the most awful public transportation system in any city, ever. An ex-boyfriend did a temp job in their offices once. They have an entire department dedicated to arriving at and dealing with the many accidents the buses have daily around the city. This is not the first time they've run a red light and hit a person, not by a long shot. When I rode the bus, I would very often see bus drivers reading the newspaper while driving. But no one's ever died, because the monstrosities don't usually go more than about 20 miles per hour.
