1. There was an incident at the International District stop recently too.

That's my stop for work.

I ride the Light Rail frequently. I have to - they have systematically deleted all my bus routes. I don't like it. I don't feel safe. The elevators are almost always full of urine and sometimes worse. This is not an exaggeration. Three out of four elevators I used last week had puddles of pee. Security is almost non existent, though their obnoxious "Fare Ambassadors" frequently demand proof of payment from morning commuters. There are always homeless people sleeping on the cars, and sometimes the wait at night is lengthy and we're essentially trapped 300 feet underground with no easy egress if a nutter shows up.

Worse, the agency won't admit any of this and dismisses it as right wing fear mongering. It's a real problem and they can't deal with it if they won't acknowledge it.
