I'm not indifferent about noise. I'm not indifferent about safety. I'm not indifferent about the scientific method.
On the other hand, it's hard to believe that Metro just folded on the audible turn signals so easily. A pedestrian was killed by a bus turning left at University and Lake streets. http://host.madison.com/news/local/crime_and_courts/pedestrian-dies-after-being-hit-by-metro-bus/article_af7db33c-9cdc-11e0-8558-001cc4c002e0.html http://host.madison.com/news/local/crime_and_courts/uw-library-employee-killed-by-bus-remembered-as-great-storyteller/article_f658af00-9dbd-11e0-a246-001cc4c002e0.html Sometime after that, Metro implements an audible turn signal to warn of busses turning. Nobody is killed under similar circumstances since. Then, some selfish light sleepers get worked-up about this, even though the busses probably just go by about once an hour or so after dark for a couple hours until the busses go to bed for the night, and turn this into a noise pollution campaign. Then, Metro folds on what seemed like and still seems like a good idea. Am I missing something? --- Robert F.
