The new mayor of L.A., Antonio VillageGarossa, or whatever the hell his name is, has appointed himself Commissioner of Transportation. This is serious stuff.
The guy wants trains, trains, buses, buses, left hand turn lanes, you name it.
And my friend, Dan, wants a biodiesel car:
Cars Running on Deep Fry Waste
I just want to get to Santa Monica on a red line that won't blow up.
When the vote comes for us to pass legislation that will free up money for the RED LINE under Wilshire to Santa Monica, why not simply vote "Yes"?

I might be an old romantic... But what ever happened to street cars.... Even if it's up on a monorail or something...
Here in NY they want to extend the #7 line... I say Mass Transit stay ABOVE ground...
It's a whole lot less claustraphobic, too!
Cheers,

Because the Red Line has been a waist of money in LA, siphoning off millions from improving bus lines. It went way over budget, it's leaked since the day it was installed, and ridership is nowhere near forecasts. Above ground light rail is also a failure: local residents hate it and the number of riders aren't close to what they projected.
The new express bus lines where the buses control street light timing are a hit, as is the new bus lane in the valley.
I say improve what we’ve already got.
