Re: LA: A (Blue) Line Gets an ''F'' Grade From Riders

Posted by Easy on Sat Nov 30 12:05:18 2019, in response to Re: LA: A (Blue) Line Gets an ''F'' Grade From Riders, posted by Broadway Lion on Sat Nov 30 10:45:16 2019.

I ride the green line (soon to be the C line) as well as the Silver line bus (soon to be the G Line, don't ask me why buses get letters) on my daily commute. The Silver line runs in the middle of the 110 fwy and if you're in a wheelchair you need to take an elevator up two levels to get from the Silver line to the green line.

Once I got on the bus and a guy in a wheelchair got off to make this transfer, but found out just in time that the elevator was out. The only way to make the transfer would be to get off at the next station, transfer to the 81 which parallels the freeway, go back to the green line and then take another elevator up one level.

This poor guy gets to the next station at Manchester and that elevator is out as well. We get to the next station at Slauson and that elevator is also out. We have to go all the way to USC where he has to take the elevator down, wheel two blocks to the 81, and then travel back for maybe 30 minutes (10 min on the fwy).

That was just terrible! Not sure if it violated ADA, but he didn't appear to be the type to sue. I guess when you're challenged you just get used to the frustration.
