In light of this recent event, would the above ad campaign–albeit very clever–in metro stations be considered ironic or simply poor timing?*

This isn’t to say I haven’t seen metro riders bumping into one another on the platforms due to mobile devices as well. While I was taking this picture, some douchebag nearly missed me because he was entranced by his Blackberry.

* I’m well aware that the ad is from CSX about railroad safety. I know there are train tracks nearby, but I’ve never walked anywhere near them.
