Wham-Bam

Houston's light-rail train didn't start out so hot. From Wikipedia " In the beginning of METRORail's operation, the line averaged 11 crashes per track mile per year, compared with the national average of 0.55 for similar rail systems, giving rise to local derogatory nicknames among detractors such as the "Wham Bam train." I really could not imagine why people simply kept hitting and getting hit by it. It's not like it's tiny!
