I remeber a drunkard vomitted on the intercar communication door on a

I disagree that shear volume has casued this, I think it is the
increased emphasis of economic rationalism in the 90s. EFFICIENCY
EFFICIENCY EFFICIENCY. The system *may* be more efficient but then again
packing 500 people on one carriage is effiecient, just not terribly good
