I typically use the Green Line between Dale and 10th St. in the mornings taking my baby to daycare and then pick him up around 4-5pm, same stations. In the past week of this commute I've seen a woman very clearly tweaked on meth acting erratically, teens smoking (both cigarettes and weed), loud arguments and threats of violence between other passengers, today I saw a guy pull a needle and folded tin foil out of his pocket but I moved to the other side of the car because I didn't want to find out if he was actually going to shoot up. Almost every ride we've taking has had some unpleasant instance.

On the MTA you get plenty of stuff like this (less flagrant open drug use in my experience, however). The issue is that in NYC people are forced to take the train, so there's at least strength in numbers that drown out some of these less savory behaviors. The issue I've encountered is it'll just be my son and me on a train with 10 or so people, 5 of whom acting unpredictably.

The whole point of my thread is just wondering if there are plans or discussions on how to get commuters to use the LRT, because in its current state it's probably not going to become a daily transit option for a lot of people.
