Everyone remembers when the public transport system gave up and said this town's too dead for us to make a living. We don't blame them, in fact we're surprised that they held out for so long when the forgetful dead kept trying to relive their glory days.
They never meant any harm, they just wanted to be back among the living, pretending they were just on their way home and just a little sleepy. They pretended they were just going to take a brief nap on the train (they definitely weren't resetting back to the place they'd died) and then they'd just vanish leaving drivers with nobody to collect payment from.
At first they tried refusing the more active dead-zones but the forgetful dead adapted and soon the entire city was a mesh of spirits and the living all arguing for the same cab only for one or more to just dissolve into nothingness.
I don't blame the people trying to earn their living, I blame the dead for not letting theirs go.
