This isn't the Watt-I/80 Train ?

Hmmm! how do I explain this. On each Train or Bus there is this thing called a Headsign, it's the big thing in front & on the side of All public transportation vehicles. A good example is if the headsigns say" SUNRISE" that means it's going to" SUNRISE" not FOLSOM not MEADOWVIEW not WATT/I-80 , But to "SUNRISE". The second clue should be the announcements the freaking Trains & Buses make . "SUNRISE BOUND TRAIN" same for "MEADOWVIEW BOUND TRAINS"or in your case"WATT-I/80 BOUND TRAIN" so before you ride it all the way to SUNRISE then blame me for not telling you,"YOU NOT ME" were on the wrong train I would ! (A) Get a Education (B) Clean the wax out of your EARS. (C) Stop blaming others for your Shortcomings or Laziness for picking up a ($1.00) Bus Book and attempting to really learn where the Trains & Buses Go , JUST A THOUGHT !!

Why is the train late ?

The train is late because (1) At each light rail station we're suppose to load & unload passengers including Drunks in wheelchairs, People that can't remember why they're sitting on the Disable ramp, And just plain lazy A** people that don't want to walk up the stairs: And believe me the worst are the one's that between the (1st & 15th) of every month they feel that since they have a little SSI, WELFARE or G.A. check ,They have more of a right to sit in the SENIOR & DISABLE area. Now since I've been doing this job for more than (5)yrs, I basically get to see the same cast of characters , Day to Day- Month to Month- Year to Year, And for you that ride the Buses & Trains on a regular basis you know what I'm referring too. Add this and the fact people don't understand" PEOPLE WAIT FOR TRAINS-TRAINS DON'T WAIT FOR PEOPLE ",Then a (10-15) sec. station stop turns into up to a (1) min. stop. Now multiply that by (23) stations, Guess what! I,m Late !!!. (2) Some of these trains are (18-20) yrs. old. They have been running (20) hrs a day (365) days a yr for that long. THEY'RE going to BREAK DOWN! So the next time your train or bus don't show up , Don't Cuss out the operator , Because we don't want to HEAR what we already know !!!!! That We're Late

I Make more than you !

Hello Sacramento, Thought I would put my two cents in about being a operator for R.T . Listening too a lot of people complaining about the service and operators, I encourage you to do this job 8-10 hrs a day, Dealing with Drunks-Mentally ill, and Low Lifes that think the Trains & Buses are their personal limo service. And people that think because they work for a certain State Agency (pick one) ,Paying ($2.00-$5.00) or ($20.00 per mo.) if you work for a State Agency (pick one) that you make more than this operator! , Unless you're upper management, "THINK AGAIN". And for the service. Me and my fellow operators try everyday to keep are Buses & Trains on time so remember the next time your holding the door at 9&k st for Susie or Pookie because they're a block away that's why you missed your bus at Arden-Del Paso or Watt/I-80 . On a personal note I think 98% of riders are hard working people that just want to get from point A to point B, It's the 2% that screw it up.
