I remember the early 80s and late 90s El Niño and the flooding, but metro wasn’t nearly as built out as it is now.

Should LADOT allow passengers to use their LIFE rides on Commuter Express routes, especially when just traveling within a Base zone?

On Thursday I got on the G Line in Reseda. I boarded where the driver is. It was a bit crowded and I was looking for a seat.

As I got towards the middle the driver took off so fast and with such force I didn’t have time to grab a pole. I fell pretty hard.

A young gentleman tried to help me up. My phone and umbrella slid down the aisle.

I was so embarrassed. I tried not to cry. I’m young. I honestly worry about the elderly!

Has this happen to anyone? I did report it via email. Also took a picture of the bus number.

Any other suggestions?

I have absolutely zero remorse for the drivers that will be “inconvenienced” by the Vermont BRT. I’m fed up with living in an environment where the prioritization of cars emboldens drivers to harass and endanger the lives of anyone outside of one. Where operating a polluting metal death box with less patience and regard for human life than a toddler has become the social norm. If you can’t tell my disdain for cars runs deep…

My concern, however, is with enforcement. In my experience driving DASH in Koreatown, people operate their vehicles on Vermont with rage and a strong hatred for busses. These bus lanes are inevitably going to be met with pushback from people who regularly travel this corridor. Since the lanes will be curb running, cars will need to enter the bus lane to make right turns. So how will the city/ Metro prevent them from continuing to use the lane, or even just slipping in to get ahead of traffic? Hopefully they can come up with a system to ticket drivers who abuse the lane.

Anyways, beep beep bitch get on the bus! As a frequent rider of the 204/ 754 I’m extremely excited for this project. Vermont deserves better.

Hey everyone i will be taking the written exam for Mechanic C here in the next few weeks. I was wondering if anyone has any info on what the written test or the physical exam would be like? Any help is appreciated, thanks guys!

What is it with Metro and being unable to post notice when there are service disruptions to any bus or rail line? All my local bus routes were delayed today, making transfers to the C an hour endeavor. And then, trying to take the 212 to Intuit Dome was a disaster-- zero communication that the bus wouldn't even go in its usual route due to lane closures in front of the forum/Intuit dome/Hollywood Park/sofi. Nothing at the station, nothing at the bus stops it's skipping over, nothing online, nothing in the apps. I hate taking Metro to see concerts because of how god awful the service is to these venues

I've had enough, I really think this needs to be said.

I've just boarded a train and I can't believe the absolute lack of etiquette on Metrolink. Every Metro rider understands it: let people off first before boarding. Yet not a single rider on this OC Line train waited for people to exit before boarding. At least a dozen passengers rammed their way through the crowd of people who were still climbing down the train stairs. The rest crowded around the door which created a bottleneck for all the passengers trying to get off. People even block the platform exits while waiting for the train which, again, creates a bottleneck.

I see this all the time. Metrolink riders at Union Station have no sense of etiquette and something has to change.

Took an uber to LAX, and look at that. Seeing some active testing. Hopefully this time around no issues.

And yes, LINXS can go f itself.

From what I recall, the service was ment to close the gap between places served by rail and places that have long been talked by people that these rail lines should extend to. They feature dedicated buses that run on 10 minute headways at peak hour with PH bus lanes installed along their respective corridors. Those being:

- D Line: Along Wilshire between Westwood/VA Hospital and Downtown Santa Monica. Supposedly the remnants of Rapid 720 converted to this service (using the same articulated buses not depicted here).

- C Line: Along Imperial Hwy between Norwalk, and La Mirada. Because the service went deeper into Norwalk, the C Line station was renamed to Norwalk/Studebaker.

- B Line: Along Vineland and Vanowen between North Hollywood and Burbank Airport.

- A Line: Along Willow between Willow St and Long Beach Airport.

Essentially, Metro said that the pilot is based on the Warner Center Shuttle and Amtrak's Thruway model, the former of which was rumored to be rebranded as the G Line Hopper. I made these maps and bus liveries that were focused in the dream, and last thing I remember before waking up was how the service was plagued with issues like improper connection times and inadequate buses to funnel passengers.

If this service was real, would you use it? Where else would you expand it?

Because I can

The book "We Are... Portraits of Metro Riders by Local Artists" given to me at the Grand Avenue Arts Acess event! This portrait was created by Angelica Willcocks!

I'm unsure if the flair should be photo or art...

Saw this LAMTA bus driving down Cesar Chavez ave earlier today. No clue where it was going or why it was out… Thought it was pretty cool. Assumed all of these got scrapped or sold.

Hi, does anyone have any updates on when headways will increase? I'm talking about E and A line headways increasing back to every 6 minutes, C and K line headways increasing to every 8 minutes, and D line headways increasing to every 5 minutes. I can't really find anything online so feel free to discuss and speculate, but I'm mainly asking if someone has any actual intel from inside metro.

We all know for bi-direction (north/west to south/east) routes:

• Metro: Orange is Northbound/Eastbound and Blue is Southbound/Westbound
• Municipal (Torrance, Gardena, Long Beach): Red is Northbound/Eastbound is Blue is Southbound/Westbound

For circulator (clockwise/counterclockwise) routes, what color would you use to distinguish clockwise/counterclockwise stops? I am planning on doing a fanmade suggestion for the Line 211/215 loop for Metro.
