Posted by George Foelschow on Sun Sep 22 17:03:52 2019, in response to LA Expo trains now more crowded than NY, posted by Easy on Sun Sep 22 12:10:29 2019. Metro is experiencing decreases in ridership on its heavy rail lines, Red and Purple. At a fundraiser for Jackie Goldberg, running for a reprise term on the Los Angeles school board, I cornered Supervisor Hilda Solis, a Metro board member, to address Red and Purple issues. I brought up the problem of derelicts sleeping on the trains, especially acute after dark, and others with severe personal hygiene problems. She was attentive and sympathetic, and promised to "look into it", a typical non-answer for a politician.I should stress that Metro is a transportation agency, not a social welfare agency. Expensive infrastructure is wasted if it isn't used to its full potential. |
