        Why is there an option to disable such a critical feature in a public transit vehicle? This should ALWAYS be on!

        Working for a railroad company myself, I can tell you that this stuff is new. Since the Lac Megantic issue in Quebec, US government gave strict timelines for them to put this in place. Hopefully it gets better. I know we're trying.

        It's not that we don't want to... it's the deadlines that congress gave were impossible to be met.

        PTC isn't human. It's supposed to be automatic. My guess, the PTC technology isn't very good. I work for a large railroad company and we're not even done with our own.

        Ya I know. It's not easy, but Congress won't give you a chance. We've been working on ours for years. We're all trying to prevent this from happening.

        This is a misleading headline. It wasn't activated because it isn't completely installed. Not because it was deactivated
