The users of the system of the Meter must trust in the accident control measures that are adopted to improve the trains service in the metropolitan area of Washington DC, affirmed John Catoe, Manager general of the above mentioned company.
“ The system of Meter and the public transport in general there constitute one of surest ways of traveling”, indicated Catoe, on Wednesday, the 22nd.
As example quoted the fact that the number of deaths in transit accidents in the country promoted approximately 40.000 persons in 2007, of whom only 25 correspond to the railroad transit.
Catoe answered this way to a report of the newspaper Washington Post, in which it points out that flaws in many safety circuits have been detected along the routes of the system of trains of Meter.
On this matter, Catoe answered that it has been carried out “an exhaustive analysis and the most rigorous procedure of maintenance to check the circuits of the routes in the trains system”.
“ We investigate immediately any thing that we observe, for kidling who should be, it added.
He told that that means debts in some sections of the routes, “as it happens when it is circulated across a highway where works are realized”.
“ But that does not mean that there are problems with the safety and what we have detected up to the date it is not a sign of a technological flaw extended along the whole system of control of the trains”, he affirmed.
The official announced that during last two weeks a report has been drafted computarizado two times for day “to have a more exact vision of the circuits of the routes”.
“ The above mentioned test was realized once for month; now we realize it 14 times per week, that is to say, 56 times every month and as a result of this more rigorous review we have found circuits of the routes where there are anomalies”, told Catoe.
“ For that reason we carry the most rigorous maintenance procedure out” in the whole system of trains of Meter, he said.
