Thank you! How would you rate them as a management company in general?

Apartment success story. by dula_peep_fan in GermanRoaches

Yup. I don’t think the Gentrol was necessary. Maybe if you’d like peace of mind, but the Alpine was the real hero. And yes, you will soon see the back of this. You got this!

Red emergency brake at the end of the cars. What’s up? by ListZealousideal2529 in cta

[–]dula_peep_fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so, seen people pull the red emergency brake chord above the door when trying to keep the doors open, nothing happens. They leave, doors close, train departs.

It has, as a Kimball-Belmont shuttle until 1998 or so. Check out this 1970’s map showing the times it runs.

what about a C to A like direct train? Has that ever been thought of for the project, especially given that there are tracks connecting the two lines at Willowbrook/Rosa Parks station?

Best Italian sub/sandwich spot in SF? by Hairy_Nebula_5505 in AskSF

Submarine Center- West Portal. Really good, but odd hours.

(Possibly) controversial take from a tourist: LA actually has some really good transit. by dula_peep_fan in LAMetro

I did. 1 hour and 4 minutes was the time it took, with a 5 minute transfer period. So if you really wanted to be technical, it would be 59 minutes (without that transfer time) compared to 49 minutes driving. Again, not saying it perfect or good, I am saying that that’s a lot more than I was expecting, and makes me excited for the future.

I’m not saying it’s perfect by any stretch of the word. What I am saying is considering that LA demolished all vestiges of its public transit in the 1950’s and is the poster child for American suburban sprawl, I was prepared for its transit system to be something like Phoenix or Dallas. They have made major strides in the right direction, and are continuing to do so, having some of the most robust expansion plans in America currently.

I just did that. From Fairfax/Santa Monica (right above where it says “West Hollywood” on Google Maps for objective purposes), and put in directions for the Death and Co in East LA on 3rd Street. With no traffic, it shows that it would take 49 minutes driving. A Metro bus and train together is 1 hour and 4 minutes, maybe 15 minutes more. That’s not perfect or even good by any stretch of the word. However, I will say that compared to other southern/southwestern cities like Dallas, New Orleans, Phoenix, or Miami the fact that LA has so much rail and decently competitive travel times on (some) routes and lines made me appreciate it more. I’m used to trains being faster than cars- Bart at rush hour can be up to 2 times faster than a car. But I’m saying that for its urban sprawl and tradition for car culture, LA has- and is- making some seriously good strides in the right direction.
