Getting into the car house in Cleveland would land a vandal in jail. That facility and bus garages also are fenced. To enter one must have the employee ID card which has an encoded strip. The card must be run though a "reader" at the entrance doors and also to pass between interior sections of the car house or a bus garage. A memo was just issued today reminding employees to be extra alert for unwanted individuals trying to get into RTA facilities. This is part of the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security guidelines which U.S. public transit systems are to be following.

We have much trouble with idiots griding the trolleys' windows. Is that also
common in the States?
Graffiti is problem also here, and the vandals do not hesitate to get into
carhouse to create their work of art.
