How does rail travel sometimes cause health proЫerns' \X'hy are these proЬlems dangerous? Why do passengers in trains get angry? Why don't rail companies provide longer trains?

Read the an.icle. Accordiog to the writer, " 'hat are the answers to the q taestions in 4.

ns of rail passeпgers have healh proЫems '::!l!cause lhey travel оп overcrowded tralns. А receпt s::.dy Ьу lhe Rall Passenger Couпcil measured lhe Yart rate and Ыооd pressure of commu1ers on lraiпs ~ were too small. 11 found l hal as а result of the :ioor condilloпs of their jourпey to work, lhey were s:ressed even before lhey arrived at the office. l\n added proЫem is that 1гains are ofteп delayed or caлcelled wlthout warniпg. The comЫnatioп of oricomfortaЫe traiпs а пd unreliaЫe services сап a..se а level of tensioп which is dangerous. Accordiпg

to some experts, regular commuters сап suffer from high Ыооd pressure, anxiety or еvеп fatal heart coпditioпs as а result. То begin wilh, оп crowded traiпs passengers get aпgry because lhey have to staпd. Тhеп lhe 1rain stops for 20 miпules for no reasoп they сап see, апd thls adds to their frustralion. То make the situallon worse, their seasoп tlckels are поt cheap. They рау high prices for а poor servlce апd, logically, lhey resent lhis. For lhe rall companles 11 is cheaper to рау fiпes thaп to provide loпger trains. Puttiпg оп ап extra carriage is поt profitaЫe for а lraiп соmрапу. 11 costs far more thaп they get back for makiпg the passeпgers' llves more comfortaЫe.
