Took the Green Line home at 10:30pm after a concert at the Turf Club. Folks were dealing drugs at the station, but frankly, they were friendly and not a bother. Got on the train with several safety agents on board. Fares were checked and people got on their way. All in all. Not a bad experience.

Now if only there were great places to eat after 11pm on a Thursday...

Second fare check at the U(!) Agents had conversations with folks about their situation and their needs. You love to see it. But also, why is this needed here and now? It reflects on how broken our society is. Folks need resources before they get on public transit.

I also don't mind when people deal drugs or ask me for drugs, it's just color in my day, but I understand why some (i.e. non-young men w no kids) feel unsafe, and fear for our transit system if the approach is "increase tolerance for drug dealing" and not "stop people dealing drugs on the lightrail"

Absolutely, not saying it should be accepted. Just commenting on what the experience was like for me. Goal should be to get enough people riding and enough enforcement that dealing becomes untenable.
