Red line

Every time I ride the Red Line, there are individuals who harass, threaten or create problems for riders such as myself. This includes people who expose themselves, public urination, smoking, intoxication, vulgarity, physical intimidation, and any other assortment of disgusting behavior. Yet I have once to see a uniformed officer (CTA or CPD) on any ride. As a Senior, this causes extreme anxiety every time I have to ride the train.
