^^^LOL Ock you are too funny sometimes!

Well the old planner told me that they tried to use just ONE trolley pole at first, grounding it into the river, but the fish kill was fantastic...

I can't speak for the after 5:15 crowd, but it was (and yes, I am assuming) comprised of mostly transient types not

I saw several JTA employees address transient individuals on the platforms.  I think they actually did a good job in this regard.

Is that a grenade in the last photo? I couldn't bring myself to ask!

That was my interpretation.

My friend and I did the trolley this time as last month we weren't able to. Overall, the experience and convenience of it was great, especially considering that it picks up on the corner of my street.

Would you use an evening service and do you like the current route?


Lake, thanks for getting my good side in picture 2.

Ridership was WAY up on the Skyway during my usual commute.  SRO on cars that usually have open seats. I can't speak for the after 5:15 crowd, but it was (and yes, I am assuming) comprised of mostly transient types not at all concerned with the art or event. 

I was disappointed that it did not appear JTA took a moment to tidy up the stations.  The escalator handrails were still filthy and the platforms looked dingy.  To be fair, I wasn't expecting a spit shine, but would dragging a mop or rag over the station be too much to ask when you are expecting company?

I was also underwhelmed by the art. But now I'm just being judgy.

Naw, I think thats a wasted investment for one Art Walk. Im not sure how often they pressure wash, but they may be do for one, at least the original 3 Stations.
