It was recently discussed that Metrorail is not free, but yesterday was the first time I saw METRO actively enforcing. They wouldn’t let you leave the platform without paying. They had portable pay stations manned by numerous fare inspectors.
I tried to outrun them but they got me with the stun gun and dragged me back to the platform. 
You need to work on your stiff arm.
It was my stiff knees that failed me
We need Metro-rail security “Heartland Division” to start rousting people from dorms and forcing them to the game
Same thing today at Reliant, they had tables set up to pay when tried to enter the parking lot from the rail
I guess I can’t complain about having to pay $2.50 yesterday (they let my son go for free each way).
I’ve been riding for free for 11 years now, I’m still way ahead.
If I had my way, Metrorail would put up barriers so that only paying customers could get near the platform and the bench. Heaven knows it’s make things a lot safer.
So the rail is no longer free on game day? Yet another reason for low attendance …
Yup. Now that I’m gonna have to pay for light rail, I’ll have to cut out one $20 beer for every 8th home game. 
Minor annoyance after getting a free ride for the last decade.
The UH game on Saturday probably tripled METRO’s annual rail revenue. 
When I lived in Houston in the mid 90’s to early 2000’s Metro let met ride for $52/year ($1.00/week). All it took was a letter from my neurologist stating why I can’t legally drive. They gave me a card to show the drivers.
Wonder what that would cost now?
