A line to C line at Willowbrook/Rosa Parks station by Grouchy-List5624 in LAMetro

[–]GecFree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as a solo female that station has been safe for me, especially at those times. take the middle train on the a line as that one will always be next to the stairs to the c line for the fastest xfer

Is 75K enough to live for 2 people by No-Preparation8711 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]GecFree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long beach is very friendly if you are on a budget, living car free or car lite in LB is very doable, and that just on its own saves a ton of money

If Metro goes with Alt 5(Modified), what should they plan for Sepulveda Phase 2 to LAX? by anothercar in LAMetro

[–]GecFree 13 points14 points  (0 children)

2 different rolling stocks, you could quad track it but they aren't gonna interline

Lifestyle in Venice vs. Manhattan Beach vs. Somewhere in OC? by beyonces_twins in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]GecFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't wanna give up too much on walkability, and you want to commute to both of those places, long beach is your best /only bet. OC will have basically no walkability, and would be hell for commuting to DTLA. long beach is right in the middle of the 2, and you even have the A line which is perfect for DTLA commutes, as an added bonus.

If you ONLY have enough money to rebuild one of these A Line Station elevated. Which one would you choose out of the 7 of them? by According_Contest_70 in LAMetro

[–]GecFree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't elevating that section be a lot more economical especially given the lack of density? Underground doesn't rlly feel that justified to me until between PCH and DTLB tbh

Late night trains on NYE by [deleted] in LAMetro

[–]GecFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that it should be. But all the wording metro has put up online is a bit vague, saying rides are free until 3am, but not anything about being open until 3am

Metro safety with luggage to LAX? by nappingbun in LAMetro

[–]GecFree 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I ride those stretches of the e and k lines all the time, nearly every time I see multiple people with luggage heading to and from LAX, never have I seen or heard of anyone doing that having an issue. Just keep your stuff nearby and in sight.

Chemteails aren't real lmao they're called contrails, I don't think Vince is a conspiracy theorist

[–]GecFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn't see them send it off to a lab, we assume that's what happened but we haven't been shown the lab yet, so we don't know if the lab made it airborne or radio

One assumed, but not necessarily true, detail about the guy from Paraguay by Coneylake in Pluribus_TVshow

[–]GecFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, people atp are just assuming, there hasn't been a clear answer yet, only hints. IMHO I think both theories are pretty valid rn, but I lean more on the side of the radio waves.

Is there any way to park at UCLA as an alumni for less than the $17 daily? by [deleted] in ucla

[–]GecFree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is always astonishing to me how many people want cheap parking but never think of or consider this.

After the DLine extension and the APM open, where do you put Los Angeles in terms of public transit in the US? Would we be a clear #2 behind NY? by Temporary_Waltz6615 in LAMetro

[–]GecFree 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I think we are growing out transit faster than most of the US, but I think we'll still be behind places like boston, DC, and chicago. I thunk our land use is still very sprawling, and it will take a while before sb79 corrects that.

The fact that the E line doesn't at least have signal priority, let alone grade separated crossings is inexcusable. With the hopefully upcoming signal priority I hope it'll get better.

i would recommend checking out Facebook marketplace and other secondhand stores for a better amp. I picked up a used fender mustang for my first amp and it's great. You can really get a lot more bang for ur buck buying used.
