What's the point of even having a rail system if it runs like this?

[MichailTakach.bsky.social @michailtakach]

@jawshv A constant problem at 7th & Metro where the @uselessmetro signage works 1/100th of the time. I can't tell you how many times I've wound up on Wilshire & Normandie for absolutely no reason. #LAproblems

[josh vredevoogd @jawshv]

love our functional transit system where i get on the train that says B Line but surprise it’s actually the D Line

[Joshua Schank @joshuaschank]

Rush hour frequencies on ⁦@metrolosangeles⁩ ?

[Joshua Schank @joshuaschank]

Rush hour in LA ⁦@metrolosangeles⁩ this really makes it hard to rely on transit

Not good

[oscar uriel ☭ @outta_papeles]

*community alert* @metrolosangeles is proposing raising fares to $2. this fare increase comes at a time when transit dependent riders (majority making less than 45k a year) face falling incomes and rising costs of living. we will organize against this afrontment to community.

[ᜃ @materyalista]

metro is also planning on getting rid of two-hour free transfers. all together these changes would single handedly almost TRIPLE my daily fare as a transit-dependent rider. this proposal is outright disdainful to low income riders, the lion’s share of metro’s ridership base.

You can always count on @metrolosangeles when working way late on a Monday night…. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #LAproblems

[Useless Metro Times @uselessmetro]

This departure board at Wilshire/Vermont has been frozen on these times since the realtime system melted down on Tuesday.

[Rabi Abonour @rabonour]

.@metrolosangeles Please start being better about getting detours into @transitapp. There is a text alert that Hill is closed but the app is still telling people to transfer at the inactive stop at Grand Park and doesn't show the detour visually.

[Madeline Brozen @Maddz4planning]

A simple way that @metrolosangeles can make the system more safe for women (and all passengers) at night is by always ensuring real time information at stations is always showing. Too often, passengers are left with absolutely no information

[Esteban @esgarciaa]

This is 8:30 am, on a Tuesday.

Right after a packed Blue Line train pulled in upstairs. I’m a fast walker and still just missed the previous train. @metrolosangeles you make it hard to be your cheerleader.

Taken at 5:30PM on a FRIDAY —RED ALERT??

An accurate representation of Metro service
