The Metrorex union draws alarming parallels between the recent train accident in Spain and the conditions of the Bucharest metro, highlighting severe deficiencies. They claim that some issues at the Bucharest metro are even worse than those in Spain, citing a 40% funding deficit and a 20% personnel shortage. The union emphasizes that only 25 out of 70 control points are operational, leading to chronic fatigue among staff due to excessive overtime and unpaid leave. A recent report from Spain indicates that a series of poor decisions contributed to the tragic accident that resulted in 69 fatalities, with the train traveling at high speeds during the collision.
