    Oddly enough, crossing the Steel Bridge on MAX this morning was significantly less of a hassle than trying to cross it on MAX on Saturday night, where not only did they decide to lift the Steel Bridge at 10pm, they then turned around all Eastbound trains and kicked all the homeward bound Starlight Parade viewers off to find ‘shuttles’ that never showed up.
