18 mins for an A line train at 4:40 on a Friday? Then 3 in 6 mins. Insane bunching for a rail line

- the app forces you to have notifications on to make purchases (very bad)
- the prices are actually very reasonable (good!)
Also: my first order got stuck so I reached out to support to make sure I wasn’t charged. They were very responsive.
Overall: 3/10

For the discourse, I actually ordered from the app-powered vending machine at LAX Transit Center. My thoughts:
- it is very dumb you *need* to download an app to order
- the app kinda sucks
- I have no idea how this is is better than a normal vending machine
- it is very dumb you *need* to download an app to order

Why is @metrolosangeles.bsky.social so bad at updating signs? How long do we think it will take Metro to have consistent station signs at Imperial/Aviation station?

Credit where it’s due. Metrolink OC line headed south out of Union Station on the :40 and Amtrak on the :10 slaps. Super easy to remember. We now just need more Amtrak trains to get legit 30 minutely service

2 b) at the current end of the path you just get dumped onto pretty big streets sharing a lane with a car. Again maybe that will change soon.
3) general lack of shade. Would be nice to have some trees.
But that’s it. I loved the path. Very pleasant ride and I will take it again!

2) the rail to rail path weirdly ends close but not at the A and K lines. It also passes the J line but I didn’t see an easy way to cross the street to get to the station.

A couple things that could be improved.
1) Intersections - need to press a beg button to get walk signal, walk signal doesn’t last whole light cycle, and left turns across the path go before pedestrians and bikes.

Just biked the whole new path! Very awesome to have such a high quality bike path in LA!

Metrolink operates two hourly trains from Union Station to Burbank. Instead of having a train every 30 mins, they have two trains in 9 mins and then a 51 min gap. This seems like a huge miss not to have 30 min frequency on this line segment. Is this needed for their pulse scheduling?

It’s insane that the concert venue at OC’s Great Park is a 2 hour walk from the Irvine train station. They should make it as easy as possible to take the train to these concerts

Forget 28 by 28 but by the Olympics can we have the correct line names at the stations? It has been 5 years since the name changed to the B Line and 19 years (!!) since the introduction of the Purple Line that services this station.

If there is only one working escalator, it should be required to run up. Seems like a basic quality of life improvement that would be very easy to implement

VTA and Caltrain need to have better transfers. Blue line had 30 minutely service and it misses the connection to the hourly Caltrain service by 4 mins. You either have to wait 26 mins or 56 mins. Be more like BART!

And they had bus boarding islands at intersections. 10/10. San Jose surprisingly has a great network or protected bike lanes. LA needs to take notes. If SJ can have nice things, we can too!

San Jose has gotten creative on their wide streets to create a curb-protected super wide bike and parking lane. I saw this from the bus this morning and had to check it out. Very pleasant to ride on and I felt safe at the intersections. LA should consider doing similar on Pico, Olympic, etc.
