    The Diamondbacks stadium in Phoenix has this. Leaving the game by the light rail sucks though because it’s packed and everyone is trying to get on at the same time.

      This just shows that the train intervall is too big and that there should be more trains running, not that “ight rail sucks”. It’s a structural deficit, caused by too low of a budget for public transit.

        I agree with you that they either need to add trains and/or reduce the time between trains.

        But my point still stands that in its current state, it is not a pleasant experience.

      Now imagine if each one of those people was in their own vehicle trying to leave the stadium at the same time.

      That train with 100 people crammed into it is easily saving people hours worth of waiting in the parking lot for their turn to leave.
