true. but this is less a thread about my own personal gripes as much as a place to discuss the pitfalls of LA public transport and perhaps those of other systems, and also the successes.
For example, if you wanna get around downtown, hollywood, the westside or the valley then MTA is actually not that bad, even can beat traffic. Its the eastside and the southbay that are not connected at all, and MTA critically neglects these areas, as well as overall neglecting the necessary amount of buses. But I believe this is a funding issue, and I also do not know of ANY public transportation system in the world that supports itself, most like MTA here are subsidized as much as 90%. It all comes down to priorities and in Los Angeles, Metro also has to manage the roadways and in reality most Angelinos want the money invested there..
What are the public transportation systems like in your respective cities/areas?
