Good afternoon! I'm a light rail train operator in the United States. I'm currently in the process of writing a report about the importance of proper ergonomics in the design of this kind of equipment. Mostly I'm focused on what the engineers can do to make our workspaces more comfortable since we're sitting in those little cabs for the majority of an eight to ten hour shift. Are there any features of your trains that you particularly like a far as how your cab is laid out? Anything you really dislike? I'm looking for anything at all; hopefully I'll be able to get access to more transit systems for further input as part of an employee exchange of transit systems in the US.
For a less serious question, what's your favorite story to share with people who don't believe some of the weird things we see as transit operators?
EDIT: didn't account for the difference in time. Good evening would be more appropriate.
