Streetcars in Seattle, Or Why America Should Mind Its Transit Gaps
The
rider went down -- Boom! -- just as she turned to see if the streetcar
was getting close to her. Turning to look was her undoing, because her
wheel got caught in the big gap between rail and street, toppling her
hard. The big blue streetcar was only ten feet or so behind her, but
luckily was slowing down and did not run her over. Scary though.
