LARGE HADRON COLLIDER (LHC) a
METRO RAIL TRANSIT (MRT) b

What is it?
Particle accelerator1
People accelerator
What does it do?
Smashes atoms at near light speed.

Then we can pick up the resulting smithereens, and hope to gain new insights into the hadron, the dimensions beyond 3D, the slowing of time.
Mashes people into tight spaces, sends them to their destinations.

Gives lazy people the false sense that it's ok to wake up late because with the MRT, the workplace is just a heartbeat away; that, yes, therefore, time indeed slows down.

Level of evidence for the above
According to Stephen Hawking at Newsweek:2

“[I]t is absolutely safe… But if the collisions in the LHC produced a micro black hole, and this is unlikely, it would just evaporate away again, producing a characteristic pattern of particles. Collisions at these and greater energies occur millions of times a day in the Earth's atmosphere, and nothing terrible happens.”
An exclusive research by the Philippine Daily Idiotreveals:

On October 6, 2008, I felt what it likes being packed tight inside the train.On my way to Makati, the packed mass of people, assorted in their levels of Rexona use, was so dense it reached critical mass and could collapse unto itself any time, resulting in a black hole.
Scary incident
So far, none yet.
On that day, when the packed mass of commuters was on the verge of imploding into a black hole, the train -- all of a sudden, in an anti-climax -- stopped, and the participants let go and dropped off at the Ayala Station. Bummer.
Other claim to fame
Creation of the Grid,3forerunner of the Matrix.
Cheap fare.
Ranks, along with the black market and the blogosphere, as a great social equalizer.
