Topic: A Generous Response

The events of the first part of the week were easy for Andu to follow, what with having trains "attempting" to run their routes in all the districts each hour. Andu's first response would be to call in some favors so he could add at least one undercover security agent to each train, just in case. Both agents and drivers would be warned their first responsibility was to the safety to anyone riding, or attempting to ride, the trains. Protecting the trains themselves came as a distant third, after even their own safety.

Expecting the protests to continue, Andu decides to get proactive with an unorthodox response....

During the night hours between Tuesday and Wednesday he has his crew set up tables and firepits (the roast marshmallows or warm frozen hands kind) out front of the RTS Main station. Each RTS train is also given the addition of a sign that reads...

Free hot chocolate, coffee, and tea and pizza for everyone.

Outside the RTS station, the tables would be loaded down with hot drink dispensors and disposable mugs, steaming pizzas pulled straight from hardworking pizza ovens just a few steps behind the tables. And off to one side would be a table with a big sign "Take what you need". That table is loaded to overflowing with coats, boots, gloves, hats, etc.

Depending on the course of events during Wed, Andu would continue the policy each day till the protests are deemed over.
