As tragic as this is, accidents are always going to happen.. and to suggest spending billions to try prevent an accident when the money could be spent elsewhere seems knee-jerk.

Accidents are always going to happen, but people falling onto the tracks is a very routine, predictable, and common occurrence with a well proven and widely implemented solution.

There are always going to be other things to spend money on, but the budget exists to serve the populace, which is why governments figure out what needs to be done, and then figure out how to make that happen.
