I find that interesting.

Most places like hotlels, pubs, clubs, office buildings have a licence stating that they can house X number of people before it is found unsafe in case of an emergency where people will have to evacuate in a hurry.

There have been cases in Ireland and worldwide where places have exceeded the limit and an evacuation has occured where they have been found liable for personal injury due to the fact that it took to long to leave the building becuase of the amount of people that were inside.

Why are trains any different?

Buses have an X number of standing and X number of seating licences and they would be safer in an accident than if a train derailed at high speed.
