Swansea Swansea, IL 62226

"Safety and security are still occasional issues. I've never personally had an issue, but I've witnessed fights and seen blood left on the pavement after a stabbing. I use the metro for work, mostly in the evening and after 10 pm. Personally, I've found Metro is safer later at night, even though that's counterintuitive. The more people are on it at one time, the more chances something goes volatile. If you see or here a disturbance or any aggression, I would simply recommend walking to the opposite part of the train or changing cars at the next stop. Pretend other people don't exist and keep to yourself, and for the most part, you should be just fine. No issues, and I've ridden 5 days a week for a year. Security is pretty lax, and ticket checks are rare. It's getting better than it was, though."

"Safe area to live in surrounded by plenty of stores and places to eat. Conveniently located."

"MetroLink access and a nice trail I use for biking"

"Its alright"

"No restroom onsite. Bummer. Nothing much other than the Metrolink train and bus stops. There is a ticket/fare purchasing machine, and a nature trail for walking or riding bicycles. They do have heated covers over the benches for winter weather..."
