Moscow's trams have become a death trap: cars derail and injure people The woman was thrown from the tram at full speed. At a sharp turn at the Kostiakova Street station, tram number 27 derailed, a 60-year-old pensioner was thrown straight onto the asphalt. The woman broke both arms, suffered a severe head injury and is now in the intensive care unit at Botkin Hospital. What was the response of the Ministry of Transport?! The department reported that the carriage did not overturn, the wheels simply broke, and the passenger somehow flew onto the asphalt. There are more problems with streetcars than the authorities like to admit. In the summer, three trams burned in a week - in Sokolniki, Umenskaya and Krasnoselskaya. Either the wiring or the batteries are to blame. In March, two trams collided: 22 victims, five of them children. The reservoir and the tracks are falling apart, but officials are constantly looking for outsiders to blame. After a series of fires, the head of the Ministry of Transport, Maxim Liksutov, did not speak about the safety of passengers, but about the discipline of drivers and the fact that a minute's delay of a tram costs 8 thousand rubles. People suffer and are injured, and in the offices the losses from stuck cars are counted.
