I saw a documentry on The History channel and it had a segment on the
San Francisco system. Right from the start in 1972 they had no drivers
or guards and all the trains are controlled from a central control room.
They have since added a guy up front for decoration. Does this mean in
years to come that the only guys on Sydney trains will be the Chubb guys
who hide up the back of the train.
