Whether it is MTA CEO Roger Snoble being all but publicly non-existent, to the empty PR rhetoric of Pam O'Connor, to the tilting at windmills by the least powerful L.A. councilmember (Wendy Greuel, whose hill-bred constituents may well be hard pressed to appreciate the four-centuries-olde allusion) or a truly conspiratorial attempt by the MTA to make the hearings difficult to attend in a way that should propmt a class-action suit, there should be a naming of names—such as above, with Roger and Pam—to make the MTA less a faceless agency and more an inconsiderate one of folk who make a great amount of money by screwing the straphangers of the second-largest city in the U.S.<BR/>A lengthy sentence, that, but it is commensurate with how long this has been overdue in requiring someone other than myself to address. (I first started publishing my general lament of the L.A. MTA in, erm, 1997, after some three years of considerable research. Back then the best comment i could get from folk were, "Dude, just get a car!")BusTardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984672872407701918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020450922071681506.post-64407462629203728192008-02-05T13:22:00.000-08:002008-02-05T13:22:00.000-08:00This map is spectacular!The MTA should have had a ...This map is spectacular!<BR/><BR/>The MTA should have had a map this clear and understandable.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of workers on campus at USC between 10 PM and 6 AM; the #38 buses aren't exactly standing-room only during the owl period, but they're not empty either.Peter McFerrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494897368309243995noreply@blogger.com
