[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Install those walk-through weapons detectors in the easternmost Purple Line stations. That should reduce the potential for it becoming the criminals' shuttle to Bethesda Row.[/quote] The number one deterrent is that it will be operated by a private company with a profit motive to not allow people to ride without paying a fare. The second deterrent, related to the first, is that unless there is a massive fare subsidy in addition to the $200 million per year operating subsidy that the state is obliged to pay, the Purple Line will be ridiculously expensive.
