Raw :Train Collides with Metro Bus Crash in Houston

I hope the bus driver is forgiven for the mistake.

the tram may have the right of way but the red light must have malfunctioned look at 1:07 the tram has a red light, so the bus would have a green

[scythecorruptus]

I bet the passengers on the left side of the bus go flyer milage lol.....lame joke.

The bus driver wasn't paying attention. Trams and buses and other vehicles seem to be able to use the roads together quite successfully in Europe. On Swiss roads the tram has right of way at all times.

@TheDepotCat

you are dreaming if you think that there are never any accidents between light rail & vehicles in Europe.

@Drfreedom73 something epic happened in Manchester, theres a glasses comapny in UK called Specsavers, long story short the result was a two floor buss with an Advert saying "Should have gone to specsavers" on the side of it with a light rail trail smashed through the first floor

0:12 is the magic second to watch on this video. Look to the far left of the video.

This is what you get when you design a train that uses the exact same thoroughfare as the cars. It should be on an elevated track.

[snandromeda]

No, that's what you get when you run a fucking red light in front of light rail

[netsquall]

@pigvomit757575 it's pretty common actually, there isn't any difference in terms of traffic accident severity for an LRT vehicle... in fact heavy and large trucks and busses would do just as much damage, if not more. It's just LRT can't swerve out of the way when morons like this bus driver are around.
