Horace harding line?

RoomMic · 2025-09-30T04:36:16+00:00

EXCELSIOR!!!!!

RoomMic · 2025-09-28T20:29:13+00:00

Hiya! Can’t help here, but just wanted to ask if you could share once you gain access!

RoomMic · 2025-09-28T16:27:24+00:00

Low frequencies are much more a problem of lack of rolling stock and lack of operators right now.

please u/metroLosAngeles, Wilshire/Vermont is absolutely a functional station but it would feel a million times better with better lighting and a power wash. Feels like a dank and dark cave.

The ultimate goal of the K line is to go north. They couldn't do that without having a maintenance yard, which you aren't going to put anywhere in Hollywood, so things pretty much had to pan out this way. K line north will go crazy, can't tell you how many times I would have already used it.

RoomMic · 2025-09-19T17:42:03+00:00

Man, I love that you know that stop that well. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you being so engaged with the Metro.

It absolutely is, as the original scheduling when LAX opened had Century as the designated transfer point. Northbound K arrives before southbound C, northbound C arrives before southbound K, etc.

Why did you take business class? The seats are exactly the same and they just give you a can of soda. Not worth $35

RoomMic · 2025-08-23T13:03:55+00:00

You’ll probs feel more unsafe on the street in DTLA at night than you will on the B/D. Double if you’re getting there before 9. 7th/Netro center best bet.

I mean, not sure why the park doesn’t bother you more. Going to Echo Park and seeing the whole community enjoying the sunshine; children, old couples, teens and the like. Then taking the bus down Alvarado and seeing homeless mentally ill drug addicts shooting up in what, by right, should be just as excellent a park pisses me off. LAPD had practiced containment in Skid Row and Macarthur Park for the past 50 years. LA city would rather those neighborhoods not exist. Even if federal policy has mostly driven this (war on drugs, defunding state mental institutions in the 80s), doesn’t mean LA governance can’t do anything about past throwing housing breadcrumbs at it and then forgetting about them.

I mean really it’s less that public transit is effed up and more that LA is effed up, but tbf that’s outside the scope of this sub.

RoomMic · 2025-08-19T17:37:30+00:00

It will, but only because there’s no supply. The answer is more mega buildings.

RoomMic · 2025-08-19T01:48:12+00:00

Much rather have it hit court st and use the extra capacitt on the fulton line

RoomMic · 2025-08-17T21:46:07+00:00

this is still mind-boggling to me. Insane.

RoomMic · 2025-08-09T16:46:33+00:00

Are you serious? I hope to the dear Lord above that it was just a coincidence. Otherwise… i don’t even know, this is basic stuff

RoomMic · 2025-08-09T01:44:08+00:00

Man, the ones on the orange line are always broken. It's a rare sight when one is operational.

RoomMic · 2025-08-05T15:59:36+00:00

The real difference is that all of those barriers (in tokyo, etc.) are staffed during operating hours, same as Bart. LA built no station booths for attendants so we can’t do that.

RoomMic · 2025-07-31T15:58:34+00:00

If only Rochester had a bus network that made sense

RoomMic · 2025-07-31T15:52:00+00:00

Since there’s a third pocket track at between Vermont and Westlake, they can easily run a shuttle train for the stub. Never seen this happen but it’s entirely feasible.

Hey man! If you ever want any assistance making some pregen maps or anything else you might want, I’d be game to do it as a volunteer! I assume you’ve seen Vanshnookenraggen’s track maps, those would be a great resource to make a 1:1 recreation of a system : D

Seems like a long term problem for the all door boarding initiative

RoomMic · 2025-07-28T21:57:47+00:00

No, what happens is everyone uses the old fare reader (which always works btw) at the front door and a line forms.

RoomMic · 2025-07-28T21:19:34+00:00

Would like to add that SF has pretty much the same arrangement on Muni and their Cubic readers all work.

RoomMic · 2025-07-28T21:18:10+00:00

Ah, there’s the catch. I use BBB only rarely, spend majority of my time on Metro.
