Why did nobody stop the train during the Spider-man 2 train scene?

I love the original Spider-man 2 and I love the train fight scene.

But there are a couple of things that I know I should just ignore but they annoy me.

Why does nobody pull the passenger alarm once they become aware of Spider-man and Doc Ock?

I can understand at first it is just a thump on the roof so nobody would know what was going on, but it is not long before they are on the side of the train, smashing carriage windows and throwing passengers out of the window. If it was me, I would have alerted the driver by now.

The other thing is that, the train makes no stops at any stations but passes loads, I guess this can be explained away that this is the "fast" service that skips stations.
