with Transportation Expert Ned Einstein
With More Than 40 Years Experience in Public Transportation, Ned Einstein Has Served as an Expert Witness in More Than 650 Lawsuits, for Both Plaintiffs and Defendants, Including:
New and Growing Incident Scenarios with Big Damages.
Uber & Lyft
Part of the Largest Criminal Enterprise this country has ever seen. They make much of their money stealing and selling the personal information of their passengers – and everyone in their passengers’ social media networks. These companies cannot afford to go to trial – and have someone like myself explain what they’re doing.
NEMT Service
Motivcare and Veyo: Stealing Hundreds of Billions a year from our Healthcare System. All those wheelchair tipovers don’t happen for no reason. Don’t file only against the pawns in whose vehicles they occur. File against those in charge who cannot afford to go to trial – and have someone like me explain what they’re doing. DON’T LEAVE MONEY ON THE TABLE.
Safety Compromises
Half of all public transportation incidents are the result of deliberate compromises of passenger, pedestrian and public safety in return for other trade-offs. Learn more:

Electric Buses, Part 1: The Good, The Bad and the Challenge of Both: Schoolbuses
I was baptized about electric vehicles earlier than most. My late father designed and developed – and holds the patents on – 11 zinc-bromine batteries developed for Exxon Corporation (Google “patents, Harry Einstein”) – effectively the precursor to the fuel cell, a promising technology well-developed 35 years ago, deployed in
Fare Collection Folly, Waste and Stupidity
In the March, 2020 installment of National Bus Trader, I penned a scathing article about fare collection (see Drivers v. Robots – Part 8). But like many things in transit, things only and always get worse and worse. It is hardly surprising that ridership continues to decline, placing the future
New Opportunities for Increased Motorcoach Usage in Transit Service
New Opportunities for Increased Motorcoach Usage in Transit Service Just as the bottom was about to drop out of the transit industry – ridership so low that a few systems abandoned fares altogether – new opportunities for increases in ridership are opening up. I am certain that the dysfunctional transit
Testimony, Consulting & Mediation
Mr. Einstein served as an expert witness in nearly 700 lawsuits involving every mode of passenger transportation (and an occasional car or truck case). These include more than 150 involving crossing cases, 180 about boarding and alighting, 150 involving wheelchair and/or passenger securement, and almost every scenario imaginable (see Common Incident and Accident Scenarios).
Mr. Einstein specializes in cases involving elderly and disabled passengers and children. And he works on “both sides of the table.” He has served on several class action lawsuits and labor relations cases – and considers himself the leading expert in filing for injunctive relief, and the most creative and aggressive expert in identifying codefendants and (on the plaintiffs’ side) extracting the most in verdicts and settlements – often from codefendants many or most attorneys do not even know are involved (and often parties in charge). And particularly in cases involving door-to-door or curb-to-curb transportation, he has no equal, and specializes in defending contractors where the “lead agencies” have engaged brokers – all phonies, all ignorant, and many outright thieves.
