I am glad the turnstile idea was quashed though; that was a stupid a.f. suggestion and a real waste of city council’s time and money investigating it.

I’ve changed my view on this over the years. An increased police presence to make perceived safety higher will increase ridership which increases actual safety. It also reasonable to move these issues away from major commuting areas.
It certainly doesn’t solve a homeless/drug/mental illness problem. It does move the problem which will increase perceived and therefore ridership.
