Paul Rose, Muni spokesperson, insists the trains are safe and have met all safety standards. However he added that Muni will be adding an extra safety edge that will better sense when someone is trapped between the doors.
Hayworth says they're shocked that Muni is not calling the issue a defect. They have lost all confidence in the service.
Seven of the new trains already have the safety edge, but there's no timeline for when the rest of the fleet will get them. In the meantime, all trains will remain in service.
