[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] The thread has run off the rails, hasn't it? [/quote] Indeed it has.  Here is an update to re-rail it.  DART has announced that it will station a police officer, i.e. Dallas City, DART, Fare Collector, Security Guard on every DART train for the foreseeable future.  This probably will stem the crime wave that has hit DART's light rail trains and will help assuage the public's concerns about riding light rail. It will also increase DART's light rail costs, although DART has not published any numbers. Placing the officers on every train is a response, at least in part, to a shooting at a Richardson, TX station a month or so ago in which a bystander was killed.  If I remember correctly, the bad guy was killed also, although that is small consolidation to the family of the bystander. DART has ordered new rail cars for the Green and Orange line extensions.  They will be equipped with 24/7 cameras to monitor the cars and their occupants.  Moreover, it will replace most of its current bus fleet by 2015. All new buses will be equipped with cameras.  All of this is necessary.  And all of it will increase the cost of public transport.
