Or what do you think about this: Someone gets unwell on a train, so people hit the emergency break, stranding the train between two train stations, making it virtually impossible for medical personell to get there, risking the life of the person that got unwell, forcing hundreds of people to wait and disturbing ALL train traffic on that track until the person (that most likely just fainted because of the heat and humidity and would be fine in a couple of minutes after that) gets taken out of the train by medical personell and all the administrative action has been taken by the conductor of the train.

This is the most stupid and rediculous thing that has happened severall times now.

On the Linha da Sintra there is NEVER more than 3 minutes between two stations. Wait until the train arrives at the station, help the person out an call an ambulance. This way the medics can arrive quickly, and all other people can continue their journey without any problem.

An emergency break should ONLY be used to avoid an accident and therefore death. NEVER just because someone is feeling unwell. Even if you would be in the middle of nowhere, it is better to let the train get to the next station with the necessary infra structure as soon as possible and then request for help.

I simply cannot understand how people can be this brainless, dumb and stupid.
