    As far as security goes it’s immensely better as of fall 2022. They hired a lot of security staff then and they are just a text away if they’re not already on board.

    I reckon many Eastside commuters pay train fares unlike some riders that dodge them on the existing line.

      You don’t have any facts to back either claim up. Also keep in mind you can buy tickets in an app and you don’t tap your card or buy a ticket at the TVM. Don’t be so quick to judge.
