We hadn't been planning on taking the lightrail, but a few people asked if it made sense, and it did.
Public transportation is a homeless youth reality, and the lightrail is no exception. Getting a monthly bus pass also allows use of the rail. Past that, they hop it without paying.
Homeless youth have a healthy fear of lightrail security. Apparently the fine is hefty, and you will eventually get caught. If traveling illegally, the front car or back car is best. That way you can either 1.) see the security as you pull up to the station, or 2.) see them get on and hop off before they ask for the ticket you don't have.
In the spirit of the experience, we all decided to hop the rail without paying.
I then secretly bought tickets.
