Caltrain has recorded at least 18 deaths on the tracks this year, the most since 2015, as they continue a policy of reduced public reporting on incidents.
Following a new policy implemented in May, Caltrain no longer informs the public about train strikes to prevent copycat suicides, yet deaths remain on the rise.
Caltrain recorded 16 deaths by October 1, and has now reached the highest death toll since 2015, raising concerns over the effectiveness of new policies.
The causes of deaths remain undetermined, but the report indicated that 30% since 2018 have been categorized as accidents, yet many factors are still unclear.
