Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Public fears concerning rail travel resulting in reduced passenger travel is an indirect cost of the train accident described in the scenario. This could lead to a decrease in revenue for Canadian Rails due to a decrease in passengers using their services. Lost wages, possible fines, and compensation could be direct costs of the accident.
