The Trinity Railway Express is adding lots of cars to its usual lineup Monday to handle an expected swarm of people into downtown Fort Worth for a Get Motivated! seminar that will feature appearances by former President George W. Bush, retired Gen. Colin Powell and former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani.

TRE officials don't want a repeat of last weekend, when passengers were packed like sardines into rail cars trying to get to the State Fair of Texas and the annual Texas-OU football game. However, a majority of the complaints were generated from Dallas Area Rapid Transit's light rail system, where many people complained about being trapped at platforms and inside trains for several hours trying to get to Fair Park.
