To the editor: My husband and I journey the Metro usually when visiting L.A. from Upland. We stopped doing it at one level as a result of it had change into only a nasty journey. Vehicles have been soiled, full of individuals who make one really feel uncomfortable. The stations had little, if any, safety.
Because the article says, that has positively modified (“A rebuttal to L.A.’s lengthy hate-affair with public transit,” March 26). There’s now lots of useful safety and vehicles are cleaner and safer. I’m 73 and I’d really feel protected driving on my own and with girlfriends — that claims loads.
If solely Union Station might do one thing concerning the restrooms. They’re filthy. It’s not a fairly sight to start out your day with. I’ve written to the mayor and Union Station administration, however nobody cares to reply.
But it surely’s so good to see different enhancements in making the Metro cleaner and safer.
