I took a quick ride from seventh street station to bland and back for a few beers at tavern on the tracks last night. Was suprised to see so many people getting on and off at 8pm. Train was full of every kind of person you can think of, too. It really makes Charlotte feel more connected and city-like. It was really cool just riding and listening to my ipod like I was in a NYC subway, only in my hometown. Overall it was very pleasant other than two reasons - When I got on the train, there was a guy who was being a complete prick, telling everyone to get the f*** on and get the f*** off and to hurry up like he owned the train. I think he was homeless and most likely didn't have a ticket. I think he was just enjoying being a general asshole to passengers as they got on and off. Second problem was on the way back, I probably waited 20-30 mins for a working train. Two passed by that said "out of service". This was at around 10:30pm. I realize it's still early and I was just experiencing the early glitches etc. I really see this being a great thing for charlotte though.
