Lincoln Tunnel Bus Collision Injures 18, Snarling Traffic
10th June 2015
The crash occurred around 9:30 a.m. in the tunnel’s center tube when a New Jersey Transit bus hit the back of a private bus, said Joseph Pentangelo, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. At least 18 people reported injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening and were taken to local hospitals, he said.
Note that: A government bus ran into a private company’s bus.
Prediction:
- Nobody will get fired, except perhaps the driver of the private bus.
- Nobody will go to jail, except perhaps the driver of the private bus.
- If anybody has to pay, it will be the private company.

Interesting piece in the Houston Chronicle web site about how much money is lost per passenger on various rail systems around the country. Houston suffers a loss of $1.23 per passenger. None of those listed show a profit.
