Taking trust too far?
Travelling on the Dubai Metro in November, I noticed an unattended bag in the baggage pen of the Gold Class car and drew this to the attention of the attendant. I was told that it belonged to the security officer!
Subsequently on another train I noticed an unattended ladies handbag: I told the train attendant who said it was hers. She then went off through the train to check tickets - leaving the bag there! I did wonder what was in it!
The issue arising from this - apart from the totally trusting and casual attitude which seems wholly alien to one who travels regularly on the London Underground - is the need for personal storage space for crew personal property. The Dubai Metro trains are automated, with no driver's cab: clearly there is no storage for hand-bags and lunch packs and such-like. Maybe there should be?
