We keep adding to our posts after the other one has replied lol.
What other private lines? The law was specifically written to encompass only one system and the odds of another meeting its criteria are incredibly small. That you keep distorting all sorts of things to justify supporting this move is a big part of why you keep getting called out.
You cannot moved across switch tracks with the E-stop engaged. When the switch is opened to move trains, the E-stop (WaBCO) automatically engages across all tracks. In theory this is to prevent driving off an open beam, but it also prevents any train from moving across the switch. Since it would literally make monorail operations impossible, overriding the WaBCO is a necessary part of bringing trains on and off lines. In this particular case, it has to be SOP or the monorail system would not work at all. Blame Alweg for that design - its a case of being over-protective, when I heard about the fatal accident, I knew immediately it had to be while they were trying to switch tracks as its the only time the WaBCO is overridden by SOP. It's also why there's supposed to be visual confirmation of the switch being engaged.
What future lines? What other special district that existing within multiple counties might even consider adding fixed guideway transit? That’s the specific criteria that has to be met. A Universal monorail between the north and south campuses would not fall under state inspections. Just claiming there are other potential future systems that might be part of this is you distorting the truth because the chances of one meeting the very narrow criteria is incredibly low.
Again, you are distorting the criteria. There are only a handful of places where the criteria could be met. It would not just be any future private fixed guideway transit system. Presenting future systems as a real possibility is a distortion.
Board selected him and continues to support him. Where is that long list or any list of external candidates?
It is easy to support someone who gives you a few million bonus any time they give themselves a ten million bonus.
I will be when they're used for political purposes, like what happened with DeSantis's fellow elected partisan in Miami, Joe Carollo.
You don’t understand. The means aren’t actually bad. If you ignore the original motivation. And you ignore the deliberate targeting of only one system and not a true state-wide regulation. And ignore the lack of any sort of real, related goals. And ignore how other executive departments have recently been willing to “fudge” information to achieve desired outcomes. And ignore the lack of a clear, relevant goal, then you’ve got means that are perfectly fine for an undefined end that will be beneficial and justified.
And pretend that no inspections ever occurred before this savior law.
The state is allowed to shut down the system at any time, of its choosing, to conduct unspecified inspections for as long as it deems necessary (and the publicly stated purpose for this authority is to cause disruptions). That’s not the same as people getting to schedule when an inspection takes place.
But connecting dots between systems that operate under completely different conditions and expectations - is horrible form and logic.
