Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operating
(feddit.org)
This does unfortunately happen multiple times per day. Sometimes it’s smaller incidents where the tram driver can get out and collapse the car’s mirror. Other times the owner of the car comes out of a nearby house after the tram used its bell extensively (like today) and moves the car. And then there are times when police needs to get involved to tow the car which often takes upwards of 1 hour.
The truly infuriating part is that if the tram damages a poorly parked car, the transportation company will have to pay the damages. Poorly parked vehicles never get fined and the owners will only need to pay if the car ends up getting towed.
Why do we accept that drivers sabotage a city’s public transport infrastructure like this?
Surprised. In Belgium it is a minimum of 150 for the first parking violation.
Going up by 100 each time.
Blocking the tram is a more severe one, 400+
Blocking the tram should absolutely carry a crippling fine.
should scale by the number of people inconvenienced on the train.
Well it's something you don't do again soon.
Still doesn't compare to blocking a train.
Every minute it's stopped costs a fortune.
If you're the cause you could be in debt for life.
400 what, Euro I assume?
Waffles
400 Watt
400 holmes, the british sequel to 300.
in Belgium, so yes
Belgium was in your first comment, but I still didn't know. Thanks.
