New Jersey's Governor Phil Murphy and bus companies or other politicians do not acknowledge these deaths by NJ Transit train engineer/bus drivers and Coach USA bus drivers like the Covid bus drivers and train engineer.

Why is CEO Kevin only focus on the pedestrian train deaths and not the pedestrian bus death?

There are a lot of pedestrian are being run over by these speeding bus driver.

More than 20 pedestrian trespassers have been killed so far in 2020 on NJ Transit's rail lines. According to statistics shared by the agency, at least 20 pedestrians' lives were lost on the tracks annually going back to 2015 — including 31 in 2018 alone.

"What we are essentially lacking right now is high quality data and a deep understanding of ... how trespassing takes place," said Ali Maher, director of the Rutgers University Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation.

There are many more instances of train-tracks trespassing that do not result in casualties or accidents, Maher noted.

"Trespassing accounts for 17.6% of rail transit related deaths from 2010 to 2019," Maher said.

CAIT's team, under professor Xiang Liu, is developing a customized system that can detect all trespassing events and process data on the spot. Data will be collected for nine months; experts will use the data to better understand the frequency, demographics and causes of trespassing events, Maher said.

These train death are not always the pedestrian fought. The pedestrian can be crossing and a train hit them like the article below.
