Your cynicism is showing.  Having ridden late night trains home from work when Chicagofest was closing for the night, I will say that the policy is a good one since it helps to reduce the number of drunk and disorderly riders.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
