>Once, I waited at the station over 8 hours. The train had broken down, and another train was sent to push it to the station. That train broke down too.
I was on that train; it was the day before Thanksgiving. It was the worst public transportation incident I had ever experienced. On top of the engine breaking down the electricity also went out, which prevented the air conditioners from running. With the large amount of people the trains were carrying, the heat grew to be too much and someone ended up fainting. So we had to wait about an hour for the ambulance to come by and revive the person.
Once we reached the LA station, because we had two large trains coupled to each other, people couldn't get off because the platform wasn't large enough. So they had to back the train out, decouple some cars, and go back into the platform. This went on several times before everyone could get off.
