Some have commented that the drivers a honking because it's at a crosssing.
No fucking shit you dumbasses, but you miss the point.
First off there is already a flashing bell when the crossing is cut off to drivers and pedestrians. So really they aren't honking for the cross traffic.
Secondly - even then, most train drivers honk only once (and it's usually a long burst for the next crossing), but this idiot driver seems to feel the need to demonstrate extra stupidity by honking 'Pop Goes The Weasel' at EVERY opportunity (scratch that - in the winter time, it's Jingle Bells).
But more importantly it's to me the abuse of the device (it is after all a safety device) that really ticks me off. This driver is so apparently enamored with abusing the horn, to the point that it makes me wondet if he's really paying attention to what's in front of him.
At this particular crossing there have been fatalities (i.e. someone jumping in front and killing themselves, and I sincerely wonder if the Link Light Rail driver at that time was distracted by the horn such that they weren't paying attention.).
