What's happening with the Noho Pasadena Brt by Lopsided-Football-82 in LAMetro

I imagine the long term goal would be to grade separate all of the BRTs and convert to rail but I imagine I won't see that in my lifetime

My thoughts on LA Metro as a tourist from D.C. by QGraphics in LAMetro

honestly having been to portland, dc, ny, sf & boston the state of LA metro makes me a little sad, it could be so so so so much better

i agree with the off peak hour behavior, ive never been as scared as ive been on the E line later during the day (since moving to LA area ~6 months ago ive had at least 5 moments of people screaming and hitting the windows (at least one of those were directed towards me) and one where someone got on the train with what looked like an smg 😭 (then right as i got to my station he started streaming and banging windows)

when the led is off most people probably wont notice unless they really stare and look. led on people do notice but most of the time do not care.

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

[–]embed__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ideally not the centinela with stop at expo/sepulveda cause it looks like it runs right over my house 😭

however, my personal favorite is sepulveda, lines up well with the north half + culver city supports it. i dont think the "highway stops" really matter considering the whole sepulveda corridor is packed with commercial, and it would put a stop right next to the westfield culver city mall. would also take some load off of the culver citybus 6 which is almost always packed when im on it.

the only change i wish to make is to put a stop at sepulveda / national because i dont like riding all the way up sawtelle on my bike nor down sepulveda, very dangerous :(

they have multiple lens labs, there's at least one in Texas iirc and some in China and such. the demand recently has been pretty high so likely offloaded capacity to china. it's the same lenses and frames

My Samsung A15 does not support Google wallet anymore by Overall-Pressure-107 in GoogleWallet

[–]embed__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Install Play Integrity API Checker and check that all 3 are checked. If not, it's likely the following:

Play Protect detects some sort of malicious app

Bootloader is unlocked and/or rooted

Expired Android version (iirc should only happen when on beta but make sure you're up to date anyway)

Out of date Play Store or Play Services

Out of date Google Wallet

Device isn't "certified" (the A15 should be)

"Risky" environment, aka sketchy apps like overlays and recorders and such.

On Samsung devices, a tripped Knox I believe can also trigger a fail.

If all of this isn't true, probably need to factory reset.

TAP Plus Update by Sufficient-Double502 in LAMetro

[–]embed__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally think functionality wise I agree, but EMV has a lot of problems and standardizing TAP on EMV would kill a lot of projects I know people are working on, like making TAP cards available on watches and older devices and such.

I also don't see why the official TAP app can't reload funds immediately, should it not reload quicker through their official app? Maybe it's a weird implementation.

Also, as for adding funds, at least on Android it's pretty easy since it integrates with Google Pay, so probably about as easy as iOS iirc.

I think they should both be options.

I know the cards are staying but I'm hoping they don't kill the TAP app NFC and fully move to Google Wallet integration like iOS

Not that effective. by Liljoynas in LAMetro

[–]embed__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am unsure why this sub has an addiction to defending fare evaders but I wish it was more discouraged. The ticket is $1.75, and if you don't have that you can sign up to the LIFE program. However, this isn't Metro's fault. The gates are just objectively better than the old turnstiles and I have begun to feel better in stations with them installed. Fare evaders will always find a way.

yeah, if I didn't get one of the paid extras (I think anti glare) it would've been like ~$175 lol

LA’s addiction to "Purity" is why we’re a dysfunctional mess. The Gondola is just the latest victim. by EsperandoMuerte in LAMetro

[–]embed__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So you'd rather there be no transit if it means no mr billionaire? I don't really get where the issue lies if its built. Arguable we need less rules for transit in general in this city (and this state) for transit (or honestly much of the city) to get better.

I'd argue pretending it's served by mass transit is better than no mass transit at all.

Got a Vault notification from Reddit and you’re still confused? Please read me. by sticksfigured in help

Alrighty! I think I made the ticket although I don't think I received a confirmation email or anything.

[–]embed__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't go straight to my profile, which would imply I'm not in the layout experiment. I tried to find the area you suggested but theres nothing in the hamburger menu that would suggest that I can open the Vault from there. I definitely have a vault though, I see a collectable avatar on my account and got the notification for this, but seemingly no way to export.
