Many factors can contribute to a mass transit accident; sometimes, more than one contributes to a single accident.
Common causes of mass transit accidents can involve:
- Speeding
- Operator error
- Driver negligence, including fatigue, inexperience, speeding, drugs or alcohol impairment, distraction, and failing to observe traffic signals
- Incorrect dispatching
- Inadequate security, lighting, or safety measures
- Lack of training and supervision
- Faulty or defective vehicles or parts
- Lack of or negligent vehicle maintenance
- Defectively designed or poorly maintained rails or roads
- Violations of safety rules, regulations, or laws
- Recklessness by other motorists
In many of these situations, the operator, mass transit company, or a designer or manufacturer could be liable for an accident.
