I'm here in Minneapolis for a long vacation, and I've been getting around by light rail (to be honest, I've also been mooching rides off friends -- mostly to the light rail station, except for today when I walked there - 45 minutes, brisk pace). The trains are clean and airy and so fun! Another bonus--in friendly MN, when I talk to strangers on the train -- they talk back. We have conversations. We interact. 
One cool thing about the train stops are these little boxes that look sort of official. There's a button in the middle that's begging to be pushed. So I read the inscription on one today-- "Thanks a Million. Small kindnesses, weather permitting. #28." When I pressed the button, the box played a funny little song about MN. I was so excited, and kept trying to flag down strangers to listen with me, but it was rush hour and all the natives were plugged into iPods.
