True story: I'm a young woman who rode light rail to work fairly regularly (putting up every day with comments like Rachel ID does) until I was grabbed by a strange guy. I had to push him off me, twice. I was scared to push the button to call the driver because I felt I would have been trapped with my "assailant" and his two compatriots.
Immediately afterward, I called light rail police -- their phone only operates til 5 pm! I called the next business day, and they wouldn't take the report, just told me to call the Sacramento Sheriff's Dept. It took the deputies more than an hour to figure out what the jurisdiction was for the incident, and they took the report and said they would be re-referring the matter back to light rail police.
Eight months later, I haven't heard anything from anyone. What a mess. I'm happy to pay the extra $100 a month, just to not have to end up crying at the end of the day... or worse.
