Family Separated

The MAX stopped at Old Town/China Town. A woman and her two daughters got off with their luggage like they were coming back from the airport. The mother was fumbling with the baggage and the door closed while the two upper-elementary age girls were outside by themselves. The woman pushed the intercom, screamed at the driver, the driver didn't answer, so she pulled the emergency stop knob. It quickly came to a stop and her door opened. She jumped off and went back half a block to rejoin her daughters.

The evil train operator apologized to the people on the MAX for the lady being inconsiderate.

Clearly the operator didn't know what was going on.
