People don't understand and respect public transportation (train in this context) in this country. There's a lot of dumbasses who will be on the tracks when and where they should not be. Hence we need those loud horns.
People have much easier access to roads, where many more deaths occur. We don't require automobile drivers to use their horn at every intersection. Why do we require trains to sound the horn at every intersection? Why can the train not reserve the horn for when there is someone on the tracks?
