Comments from Commuters
"Increased police presence would not make me feel safer. It would make me feel more concerned for homeless passengers."
"I feel like the regularity of transit service and accurate ventra predictions are more valuable than focusing energy on homeless people. High quality public transit has effects on the broader economy which would get at the homelessness issue either through greater opportunity and more revenue for the govt that can be allocated for homelessness."
"Homeless should be advised and provided with particular space or employed as public workers for a simple facility as a reward."
