Metro Rail uniforms

Yesterday I took the train for the first time since February. The ticket inspectors were wearing very different uniforms from the Before Times.  They now seem a lot more appropriate for the job. I used to wonder why exactly a ticket inspector needed to wear tactical gear and look like a storm trooper.  Does anyone know what prompted the change?  I was wondering if it was recent events and the demand for a less militarized police. Or maybe CapMetro just got a good deal on different outfits.

Re: Metro Rail uniforms

I don't know the answer to your question, but I liked your reference to The Before Times.  Reminds me of a South Park episode.
