That's not how transit security works, although, yes, there are "trespass lists" in transit systems, people who simply aren't allowed to ride.

From m-1rail.com:

"There will be an emergency phone and closed circuit security systems at all of the stations. A driver will be present on each of the streetcar vehicles and will have the ability to contact local law enforcement and/or other public safety organizations."

More important, the people organizing and carrying out the M1 Rail project understand that this is important to people and that it needs to be tended to. That M1 Rail does not exist so that drivers and mechanics can be employed and management can have high-paid phony-baloney jobs, but rather so that people can get around.
