However, I would like to see more completion of the University and Uptown lines.</p> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.ridemetro.org/> http://blogs.ridemetro.org/blogs/write_on/archive/2009/08/18/FTA-Approves-Final-Design-on-Light_2D00_Rail-Lines.aspx#8342Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:32:59 GMTd28ebc89-27af-41e7-9b5c-0c1b3d1b56ff:8342Royko #2<p>I hope it isn't as bad as the current light rail. I am seriously turning into a real Royko. On Sunday the lazy metro cops decided they needed to stop the train to check rail passes and Q cards. I was lucky enough to see these courageous workers giving it there all and waste six minutes of my life. They &quot;accidentally&quot; let the three deadbeats in the front of the trail, that didn't have fairs, leave probably because they didn't want to write up tickets. I have decided don't care if everyone rides the thing for free or pays. All I care about is getting off that miserable thing as quickly as possible.</p> <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.ridemetro.org/>
