Ottawa to review busway safety following fatal double-deck crash

摘要

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has suggested a series of measures to avoid a repeat of a September 2013 fatal collision between a train and bus on the Transitway segregated busway in the capital city Ottawa. A one-year-old Alexander Dennis Enviro500 double-decker struck a passenger train on a level crossing on the busway, killing the bus driver and five passengers, seriously injuring eight others and causing minor injuries to a further 25. None of the train occupants was injured.
