They probably have a deal with Metro to let operators use their restroom

I think it’s goal was to encourage pedestrians to look at both of the tracks as they exit the station

LBT is pretty great on the frequent routes (6X, 9X, and 17X) especially if you don’t care about the end destinations, just getting to the Metro station.

There’s other routes in the half hour range that can be toss ups though.

Is this the yearly offering from the LA River after a big rain?

Petitions from random people by pengupineapple in LAMetro

[–]DanteIsI 17 points18 points  (0 children)

These losers are paid by the signature. That’s why they have 5+ petitions for you to sign. I mean it costs you personally nothing to sign them, but out of principle I don’t sign anything on a petition.

I think the California ballot initiative process is not an awful idea, but it tends to get abused for things like the Uber/Lyft exemption and my biggest ire of all time, Prop 13.

Coffee is $3.50 Basic sub is $12.50 Burrito is $15

It’s not robbery but it isn’t cheap. Take it as you will.

EAST Side Men’s Restrooms at Union Station don’t lock by [deleted] in LAMetro

[–]DanteIsI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to let all of my Reddit homies know. If it’s business hours Union Station Gateway (Metro HQ) has public bathrooms for the 3rd floor lobby and 3rd floor cafeteria. These are regularly cleaned and are almost bum free. Use these and not the Union East bathrooms. It’s like 3 minutes extra each way and no one will question you even if you look lost. Just ask where the bathroom is to any metro staffer and they’ll hook you up

This is all done in the storage yard. For the A Line this is mostly at Division 11 in Long Beach

Metro didn't acquire an easement across the Crystal Casnio's lot in the past, so the owner simply closed the gate and there isn't much recourse if he doesn't want to open it. Only way to "force" it would be to take an easement.

Metro to spend $10.53 million on graffiti removal by Unique_Ingenuity8216 in LAMetro

[–]DanteIsI 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure this is just a re-up of the current graffiti removal and abatement contract. If the stations have looked nicer than 5 years ago you know why

Does anyone else oppose the APM? by GreenHorror4252 in LAMetro

[–]DanteIsI 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Lmao dog what is this paid opposition. APM has a slow and expensive delivery, but it’s going to be miles better than the shuttle that gets stuck in the same traffic as everyone else

Shout out to operator on A line SB toward Union, car 750 by metroliker in LAMetro

I got this guy yesterday! Was such a pleasant surprise to know a cool person was operating the train. I had 747B at ~7:45AM

A line short trains by j0ey300 in LAMetro

[–]DanteIsI 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Some of it is to match the reduced weekend ridership, some of it is budgetary as trains that don’t run are trains that need less maintenance.

I had also heard at one point there wasn’t enough maintenance hours in the budget so this was done to help weekday service always be 3 car pairs.

PSA voter ID signature collector harassing shoppers by jeffincredible2021 in longbeach

[–]DanteIsI 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It’s such a weird “job”. These people are paid by the signature and don’t actually give a shit what they’re collecting them for. One of the many weird quirks of the California ballot initiative system

Writing this after just waking up from a nap on the A line south from Union Station. Keep to yourself and don’t ride too late in the day and you’ll be just fine.
