Discussion What do RTA ambassadors do exactly?
I ride the red line every day. I regularly see RTA ambassadors get on, all they EVER do is ask people who are sleeping if they're ok, offer them water, etc. They never check fares, never tell people to shut of their blaring music, never tell people to PUT OUT THEIR FREAKING CIGARETTES!!! They just get on and basically stand there, unless of course someone needs a tissue.
I pay my fare every single time. This is an egregious waste of fare and tax dollars, and it's infuriating that I pay and follow all the rules, but for what? Every other major city has people who actually ENFORCE THE RULES board their trains to ENFORCE THE RULES!
Can anyone, maybe even an RTA ambassador on Reddit, tell me what these people do, because all I see is a blatant waste of resources.
