Agreed 👍

I wouldn't recommend it

If alone ok, but with a kid I wouldn't want my kid to see any disgusting scene

Yes, it's safe. You see families ride it all the time. LA Metro has improved a lot over the last year. There are now transit ambassadors and more security guards and cleaning crews making riding the Metro much more pleasant.

No a lady passenger was murdered at Universal Studios

Straight up just a Bart equivalent, or more likely, electric metrolink

The LA light rail lines all run on dedicated ROWs and they are all, at least, partially grade separated. There is one line that is fully grade separated that runs in the median of a highway. Many of the stations are aerial or underground, too.

👍

That's only being done at one station as a pilot program.

👍

Yes!

⁠@@lifeishere8195”how politics stalled LAs most important subway line” was a vid I saw on my home page(dat timing btw), which u should take a look @ btw. LA should use subway trains rather than LRT to downtown to serve such a dense area. (I was trying to look for more video essays regarding the LA’s metros construction history after watching the aforementioned vid and I saw this short suggested. Dat timing I thought u would’ve replied to them 10months ago, I didn’t expect just 163rd ago lol)

It's getting there. It's only been around since 1990. Much newer than Chicago, NYC, London, or Paris which are about 100+ years old.

@@mrxman581 LA once had the best streetcar system out there until cars eventually made them die out, let alone if the metro started at least 5 decades earlier, it could’ve had a more comparable system. We’re in the Renaissance of rail travel kinda like in Vancouver, my city, had abandoned inter urban railway which became skytrain (32m ago)

​​@@austinh.Yes and no. The Red and Yellow trollies were efficient for a relatively short time. By the late 1940s, ridership began dropping. Unlike the cities I listed, LA didn't build a subway and that turned out to be its downfall abd why it didn't survive. Had LA built a subway system instead, we would probably have the best Metro in North America. People stopped riding the trollies when cars and then buses became available. By the 50s, many of the Yellow cars were traveling at spoeds as low as 5 mph because they didn't run on a dedicated ROW. They were stuck in traffic with all the other vehicles. The Red Cars fared a little better because some did have dedicated ROWs. In fact, LA Metro owns several of them and they've been used to deploy some of the new light rail lines. Both the A and E lines use some of those old ROWs.

gold line is good

Ye true sad i never been on it

👍

Si

Las cosas han mejorado bastante durante Los ultimos 12 meses.

Yes sir

All other US cities are much better than LA but LA gets the popularity and fame because of Hollywood

​@@lifeishere8195Your opinion. Doesn't mean it's true.

What new innovations do you suggest?

LA is popular because of Hollywood but all other US cities are way better than LA. Politics is a big factor in tge state of CA

@@TeSolycMandalor CA politicians need to learn from other states how to manage their cities

yeah, because they prefer to invest in an army than in a better decent transportation system

​@@lifeishere8195 what are tou talking about? There is no good urban high soeed rail in America at akl

Omg

nah the light rail is better for now

​@nicholaswastakenwastaken Key word "forever" The A-Line for example, regularly operates at capacity. If we're gonna spend billions on transit, it'd be best to build it for the future, not just the present.

​@@speakingofgregNone of the LA Metro lines run at full capacity on a regular basis for any significant amount of time. It happens more often during special events like a football or soccer match at Exposition Park or the Chinese New Year Parade celebration in Chinatown. The main reason that light rail will always be the backbone of LA Metro has to do with the distances it needs to cover across LA County vs cost. LA city is 500 square miles and LA County is 4,700 square miles. Subways/heavy rail is too expensive to serve those distances. And elevated heavy rail will never happen on regular commercial or residential streets like you have in Chicago because LA is already inundated with elevated concrete freeways. We don't want skinny versions of these all over the region, too.

What is Bart?

I am so elated that you have acknowledged our transit system within my birth area!

Not sure

Yes

Agrees. Yeah it so ugly in some areas

Station maybe, train wise both are old and outdated

Not only ugly but dangerous. I have so many horror stories of seeing homeless people pull their pants down and leave human waste on the trains and platforms.

@@danill4381No that’s Los Angeles, CA. It clearly says Westlake McArthur Park on the overhead sign smh

@@danill4381 I’m talking about how I have seen it happen while riding the public transportation in Los Angeles CA. You edited your comment and it is still makes no sense. Your first reply was you saying that what I saw “was San Francisco”. Now you’re saying you’re talking about the homeless leaving human waste on the escalator and platform after I said it was Los Angeles CA.
