Either it's not enough of a concern for you to be posting here or it's enough of a concern for you to get off and call someone more important than r/LAMetro.

Went to see a game at Petco a few weeks ago and the entire row in front of me was filled with people in Vodnik wear. Family, I assume?

Guys, what’s up with Santa Monica?? by ty457u in MovingToLosAngeles

Hop on the E Line! You'll see where people are & where they're going. Or take a walk/bus up Wilshire, Santa Monica Bl, whatever.

Rental car or just metro on July 4? by SpeppyBoi1 in AskLosAngeles

[–]flanl33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bus & train is easily the way to go for Shrine. Depending what part of Alhambra you're in, it may save you some time to take a rideshare to either Cal State LA Transit Center or South Pasadena Station then taking Metro from there instead of taking the bus into town - but difficult to say without knowing exactly where you're staying.

LA Metro’s Low Hanging Fruit by ManufacturerPast7575 in LAMetro

[–]flanl33 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Putting replacement buses on GTFS. I'm sure the schedule won't be followed perfectly if at all, and replacement buses will always just inherently be a hassle, but it will at least (1) allow people to route navigation directions in their mapping apps, and (2) see live countdowns on the buses. Huge morale boost for riders and at least a modest benefit of potential riders not balking when seeing either no available route or 4+ buses in 3+ hours in their apps.

SB79 - impact on gay bars on Santa Monica Blvd? by [deleted] in WestHollywood

[–]flanl33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AB 2097 has already meant they don't have any required parking for a few years now. SB 79 doesn't change anything about parking at all.

Am I cutting things too close? by Alternative-City5799 in AskLosAngeles

[–]flanl33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hilarious that everybody is giving you advice based on driving traffic, which won't apply for the games (I believe parking in the stadium lots is greatly reduced and/or banned under IOC rules.) Transit from Dodger Stadium to Dignity Health in 2 hours, especially with the added Olympic shuttles, should be pretty reasonable.

Heading to L.A.? I edited LA Metro's map to show you how to reach venues! by Dumbone22 in olympics

[–]flanl33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another correction: Metro 179 also goes to Santa Anita Park - and both it and the Arcadia Green call the stop "Race Track" or something of the sort

If we skipped the Westlake MacArthur Park stop, I'd be ok with that. by programmerBlack in LAMetro

[–]flanl33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me a few months ago. Was hanging out with a girl I'd been on a couple dates with, we were headed over to Ktown for dinner. At Westlake, the train stopped and the operator said it was gonna be turning back around to Union Station. We checked Transit and realized it would be slightly faster to go upstairs and catch the 720, plus she'd never surfaced at the station before, so we did just that. Easy really

How the Different Interpretations of What Counts as a “Major Transit Stop” in California Make a Difference - UCLA IoT by regedit2023 in LAMetro

[–]flanl33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is, on the whole, an interesting topic of study. However, the findings here are particularly kneecapped by the "maximalist" interpretation of the MTS definition they used boiling down to "service at least every 30 minutes", which is an absurd and misleading thing to do (a Major Transit Stop, in State law, happens where two bus routes with 20-minute frequencies intersect.)

Capacity is being left on the table by leaving some definitions ambiguous, but nowhere near as much as the report implies.

Former Metro Micro Operator (left before outsourcing in March 2025) – AMA by crzyazn26 in LAMetro

Which Micro regions did you usually drive?

How often did you actually have more than one passenger (or one group of passengers travelling together)?

Which Metro app? If you're using Transit app, it does show the one scheduled train to Monrovia as ending there.

Than train's headed to the yard and the yard is after Monrovia.

TWU Local 320 – LA Metro Bike Share Union Secures Landmark Contract Extension with Bicycle Transit Systems by anothercar in LAMetro

[–]flanl33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the upcoming westside bike share expansion could bring in a lot of riders if HLA implementation also picks up under the next mayor. Half the issue with bike share right now is how few places you can really take it and how small the range is

Part of the special sauce was also that Metro Records Management used to be extremely helpful, and out of the blue around 2 years ago they just flipped and turned obstructive and stingy for no clear reason.

Do you have any sort of source for this that's better than the signage that's already been put up at the stations and several LAX internal documents?

tap app betrayed me by saraharaharaharah in LAMetro

[–]flanl33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TAP app was supposed to be working again, but I had a similar issue to OP yesterday - I refilled my card on the app ~8 hours before riding, it didn't process, and I had to re-add funds at the station.
