The Gates Open !!
Recently R.T stated they want to put a end too" BAD BEHAVIOR", In my opinion the Horses are already out the gate ! By that I mean with the prior GM it was about the numbers but the wrong numbers. Yes at one point ridership was up, but who in their right mind would want too ride in a L.R.V with DRUG DEALERS, ROVING GANGS OF DREAD HEADS YELLING THE N-WORD every other syllable, I'm Black and I "DETEST" the word. So lets see how do you reign in" WILD BEHAVIOR". One way is SCHOOL PASSES should only be allowed between the hours of 6am-9am then again from 2pm-6pm unless they have proof that they're attending a ALT SCHOOL ,DOCTOR'S APPT or a after school activity if not "Full Fare" . (2) R.T needs too "BAN ALL FOODS & DRINKS OR HAVE CLEAN UP CREWS AT EACH END OF THE LINES". (3) Start CRACKING DOWN on TROUBLE MAKERS, R.T know who they are. If you cause problems BAN THEM FOR A MONTH OR LONGER, If they're caught back on the TRAINS & BUSES have them ARRESTED. After walking everwhere for about a month or so I'm pretty sure their ATTITUDE would change , But it wont work if "R.T DON'T STICK TO THERE GUNS" Just a Thought !

The problem with light rail rules of all types is enforcement. At least on buses, the drivers supervise.
What light rail needs is a conductor on every train who is responsible for checking fares and general supervision of the passengers.
You would eliminate a lot of the problems and it might improve payment enough to pay for the conductor's salary.
john - too bad the problem with that is then YOU won't get to your destination on time if the conductors are busy babysitting.
Conductors have enough to worry about.
What RT needs is security that gives a shit. Someone who rides along and takes care of the problems when they happen.
Operators run the train.
Conductors babysit. I'm proposing an extra dedicated RT employee responsible for checking tickets and enforcing rules.
I also suggest starting with the runs where RT knows it has trouble. I suspect the Meadowview line after 6 p.m. needs more supervision than Folsom.
