  Public transportation riders are heros in LA

  Bus fares should be free in LA. Everyone who uses public transportation in this area is a hero. We don't add to the impossible traffic situation and we minimize pollution. Each one of us represents one less car. My commute is 11/2 hours each way. It includes metrolink, metro bus (because Foothill refuses to pick us up even when the buses are empty!!!!) and a 20 minute walk each way. This commute costs me almost $200 a month because of a recent fare hike. This is astronomical. Almost NO ONE ELSE at my work site uses public transportation. Free transportation might encourage more people to get out of cars. Los Angeles is one of the most backward areas in the country.  Those of us who use public transportation should be honored and treated well, not punished with outrageous fare hikes and rude service. In addition, the metro bus service broadcasts horrible TV programs during the ride disturbing public peace of mind while riding.On A perspective from Eric Mann posted 2 years, 4 months ago 29 Responses
