text: I have been taking the light rail uptown to work for and a half years and all in all I think it is a good system It does need to be improved but it is a good addition to the city and I cannot wait until they expand it so I can use it to get to more places nnPositivesnConvenience I happen to live close to a station and work close to a station so it does not get any easier than that Even if you do not happen to live near a station there are several Park Ride stations for you to leave your car and take the train uptown for a night out a performance or a game nIn general the trains are clean wellkept welllit and not too crowded I feel safe taking it and waiting by myself at the stationsnFor the most part the trains run onschedule at reasonable intervals nnRoom for improvementnThe stations provide absolutely no weather coverage Have you ever missed your train Because I have more times than I would like to admit and have been stuck waiting for the next one in the rain Yes I was under the awning but the awning does not do anything Even the large covering at the Uptown CATS station leaves much to be desired nThe trains need to run later hours at the very least on the weekend This is not just for the party crowd either I work in a restaurant that closes at on the weekends and sometimes servers do not get out until almost am especially if they are closing Sucks for you if the last train left at am There are groups of people besides the toers that depend on the CATS system to work the night shiftnTrains need to be scheduled better when there are events uptown Panthers game Concert at Time Warner Street festival SCHEDULE MORE TRAINS And run a doublelength instead of a singlelength I have seen a little bit of effort regarding this but many a time I am just trying to get home from work and get stuck behind kids who just got out of Disney on Ice see my review for Vida Cantina
