Hey all. I moved to Saint Paul in the past couple months but grew up in the south metro, and I rode the green line during the middle of the afternoon for the first time yesterday. I may have ridden the blue line downtown before but can’t remember. Anyways, first time on the light rail as an adult/by myself.

I remember my quite suburban parents being very concerned about the idea of me ever riding the green line/being up in the university Ave area at all. Needless to say, I’m a bit confused? I was absolutely fine, nobody bothered me at all, and only saw one thing a bit weird. Other than that? Totally normal. No safety concern.

Is it just as night/quiet times where it’s sketchy or certain stops only? Also would like to know some sort of general opinions on times of day because I’m going to ride it more frequently if I get a certain job I interviewed for recently.
