I was a bit pessimistic about this being possible, but to see that we did this in the 1984 Olympics without any light rail is pretty amazing to hear.

    Most bus stops here don’t even have shade cover, city hall treats bus riders as 2nd class citizens. Nobody feels safe on the metro.

      I agree that bus riders are treated as 2nd class citizens. I don’t know about not feeling safe taking the metro. There’s been some issues, but I usually take the metro and feel safe. Worst that I have seen are people with mental illness yelling (not even at people, just yelling at imaginary people). Things could be better, but Metro I don’t think has the tools to address the root cause of the issues with taking metro: expensive housing and lack of sufficient medical assistance to treat the mentally ill.

          I don’t feel safe when people have psychotic breaks next to me, threatening repeatedly to kill me while rocking back and forth so violently that I can feel my seat shake. Idk, maybe that’s just me.
