Late night MAX operations

One of the main arguments in favor of light rail is that it's so much cheaper to operate than buses. That's because you can pack so many more humans into them and only need one driver. (who needs jobs anyway?) What the light rail fanatics never mention is the HUGE support network needed to keep light rail moving. Supervisors, controllers, signal techs, track techs, maintenance of way techs and who knows what else. Below is one night of light rail specialists working when MAX is not running.
