I ride the light rail to and from work everyday. Downtown to Sunrise. If I leave work and catch the 6:15 or 6:30 train from 7th and Capitol, I can wait for the train and with almost everyday occurance, the following happens: Someone is always trying to sell me an all day ticket when I approach the ticket machine. This person has a book of tickets and sells A LOT. I don't know if they are counterfeit or if they steal them from somewhere and they are making the money instead of Sac RT. If its going on there, I'm sure it's going on at other busy stops. So, RT is losing money there; If I want a contact high, I go stand by the bench with the people waiting for the train for Meadowview. Sometimes it smells like its really good stuff; Riding to work, the RT cops check for tickets AFTER 16th street when a majority of the passengers get off at 16th street. Doesn't make sense to me; About once a week I encounter someone with a really bad case of Tourettes Syndrome, or so I hope. One time I saw a young urban family on the train with a bunch of kids trying to have a "Fun Day Out". After what they experienced with all the foul language going on, I can almost guarantee that they'll never take there kids on that train ever again. Now, for the good things that I have seen: I have seen grateful passengers with disabilities able to go on with there lives getting from place to place independently because of Light Rail. I have seen a multitude of instances of kindness between strangers. I have seen children laughing an giggling. I have seen a mother with 4 young children, a child herself, trying to keep the kids from bouncing all over the train and having strangers help her out by holding on to her kids after a full afternoon of Christmas shopping. How she did it I'll never know. I've seen light rail security get there in the nick of time on a train because the conductor/driver of the train was keeping tabs on someone who was not the nicest of individuals. I've seen people exchange recipes, smiles, courtesy and even a wave from one end of the train to the other. All in all, I'm glad I have the train. Not only does it save me $80.00 a month in fuel and parking, I also have interesting stories to tell my work peers.
