The Sepulveda & Pico bus stops must improve on cleanliness, accessibility, & safety.
Lots of litter! A stranger told me to leave the EB Pico/Sepulveda bus stop while waiting for the big blue bus. He yelled at me for causing trouble (I wasn't).
Troubling experience!

1) How many states have legislatures responsible for redistricting U.S. & state legislative seats?
2) How many state legislatures have Democratic Party majorities?
3) Are you ready for any backlash for political gerrymandering?

I believe the open loop payment pilot will succeed. It will be rolled out across the Metrolink system.
However, the SoCal examples except Anaheim have or will offer transit cards too.

Metrolink sees open loop (e.g. tap-to-pay credit and debit cards, Apple Pay) payment pilot as reason to not offer regional transit card.
😡🤦🏽‍♂️

Want to use your Metrolink ticket/transfer/pass on big blue bus?
You can't.
I suggest purchasing a TAP card & putting money in it.
Token Transit is only accepted on big blue bus and Santa Clarita Transit in L.A. County.

If you're in West Hollywood, then the PickUp Trolley is not running indefinitely.
The City is looking for a new vendor.

L.A. Clippers, where are you?
You had no pride night this year.
You were absent in West Hollywood Pride and again for L.A. Pride.
LGBTQ+ & ally Clipper fans exist!
Show your receipts!
Sincerely,
An out and proud Clipper fan

Thank you for showing up and your outreach with the LGBTQ+ population!
Keep it up and do more. 😊🏳️‍🌈👍🏽👍🏽

Happy L.A. Pride!
I had a marvelous time marching with the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
Pride is still a protest but a celebration too.

Welcome to the Metro/LAX Transit Center
I came here later but made it!
It is my first but not last time coming here as a rider and transit nerd.
