1) if something is done somewhere else in the world, it automatically becomes non-outrageous?
Well it certainly isn't "new" when it's been done elsewhere.
2) families should be responsible? even for something that might not actually have anything to do with them?
There has to be a next of kin somewhere that does have something to do with them.
3) do you think most people that throw themselves in front of a train would care about a financial burden (suicide fine) on their families as a consequence of their suicide if they don't even care about the emotional burden brought on by the actual death its self?
They should. I don't think most men think about the emotional burden anyway, considering differences in brain structure between sexes. For women, which are more likely to think about the emotional burden, it may not have as much an impact on.
5) you think someone throwing themselves in front of a car or truck on the 401 won't inconvenience tens of thousands of people?
First off, only a lane or two would be shut down, so traffic would still move (it has 8 lanes in each direction!!). Second, people can use alternate roads. Third, it is far more complicated to get through alternate transit arrangements when the subway is shut down since the subway carries so many people and is impossible to supplement.
6) if you're so concerned about the inconvenience, maybe you can write a letter to the ttc asking them to ignore jumpers and keep the trains going. have them clean up the mess when the subway shuts down. tell them that you're a really busy guy and you can't wait 20 minutes for a crew to collect the contents of a former human. try to sell them the idea that since your time is so precious, maybe you can collect some of the newly available body parts and sell them on the black market to make up for your lost productivity.
You cannot just ignore the suicide because you have to ensure critical systems like brakes etc., are still working before the train continues operation. You also have to change crew at a place probably not designed to change crew. You have to clean up the scene on the spot for a myriad of obvious other reasons.
I'll ignore the rest of your sarcastic comments.
People here like to point to Tokyo as a model to be envied and followed, like their platform doors (which only a very small handful of lines actually have), yet when it comes to their policies on suicides on the system, all of a sudden the model cannot possibly be discussed?! That's hypocritical of a large number of people.
