    Dear Cap Metro, I love that you offered free rides on New years Eve. Here’s where you stumbled though. Not enough train cars, or frequency of trains going north after midnight. Not sure if anyone was stranded after that last train ride, but I was on the next to last train ride and it was at capacity with people not able to get on. I was in that spot on the train before, at capacity and we couldn’t get on. If you are going to advertise and get people to use your service like that, please make sure you have the capacity to handle it. The crush of people trying to get on the train I managed to board was something I have never experienced, and was a little scary. I thought we had a line going, but when the doors opened people just made a dash for it, and it was dangerous. There shouldn’t have been this situation in the first place, but there we were. I know the people at cap metro won’t ever see this, but if you do have them on social media, pass this along for me. Thanks.
