A possible solution to LA traffic… another bus?!
Zach Behrens over at laist.com is reporting that the Los Angeles MTA, in addressing the parking lot that has become that city’s westside, has issued 19 alternative public transportation solutions for the “subway to the sea”. Incredibly, one of those “solutions” does not even include a subway, but rather the addition of another express bus. For a city that is remembered for its currently unbearable traffic and smog and is forgotten for its previously illustrious public railways, one would think that building (rebuilding?) the city’s rail system would be a no-brainer. This isn’t to say that there aren’t good intentions, which there clearly are, it is just that this problem has existed for so long (and continues to get worse), that it is time for real action not just a bunch of “alternatives”.
