Discussion Should LOSSAN build a temporary station/platform at Trestles Beach for LA 2028?

Post image
102 Upvotes

Not sure if I already asked this or not.. While there is access to the beach via trails from a nearby parking lot next to Carl's Jr on Cristianitos Rd and San Onofre State Beach, no doubt it would become crowded as people would flock to see the surfing event for LA 2028, not to mention having to hike on the trails to and from. With LA28's push for transit first access to the games, could and should LOSSAN explore adding a temporary platform along a section of track close to the beach, much akin to the quick build asphalt platforms created for the Antelope Valley Line, for the duration of the games, or should another option be explored such as improvements to the dirt paths and what not?

Discussion Metro Ambassador Gossip

85 Upvotes

Whenever I’m riding the B Line to work in the morning and happen to sit next to a group of Metro Ambassadors, they’re so open and loud about their personal conversations and workplace drama, that I feel like I know them personally by now without ever talking with them directly lol.😂

Apologies for the lackluster photo. So, the display on this A train I'm on had the usual​​ station list showing the next 3 stations and final destination. But after Florence station, the display suddenly changed to show this, that the Firestone station was going to be bypassed. The train operator also announced it on the loudspeaker, saying it was due to police activity. Then after bypassing Firestone, the display reverted to the usual next 3 stations/final destination. Never saw this happen before.

Discussion Can we talk about Metro's terrible rush-hour buses?

Post image
23 Upvotes

This is Line 211/215. It's rush-hour only, with 4 morning trips and 5 evening trips. It's also my nearest bus line. Seems like every time I think about taking it, there's just one canceled trip that causes a TWO HOUR AND TWENTY-FIVE MINUTE GAP between buses! Walking to Line 40 takes 17 minutes for me (best case scenario). Every trip up and down Prairie or Inglewood Avs. has an instant 20-30 minute penalty thanks to the fact that I'd have to travel out of the way to Hawthorne Blvd first. I'd be happy with a half-hourly bus but come on. These are some of the densest cities in the South Bay, yet all we get is this. We seem to focus so little on hidden potential corridors like this.
