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 turn out to be only a nasty journey. Vehicles had been soiled, full of individuals who make one really feel uncomfortable. The stations had little, if any, safety.
Because the article says, that has undoubtedly modified (“A rebuttal to L.A.’s long hate-affair with public transit,” March 26). There may be now a variety of useful safety and automobiles are cleaner and safer. I’m 73 and I might really feel secure driving on my own and with girlfriends — that claims rather a lot.
If solely Union Station might do one thing in regards to the restrooms. They’re filthy. It’s not a reasonably sight to start out your day with. I’ve written to the mayor and Union Station administration, however nobody cares to reply.
Nevertheless it’s so good to see different enhancements in making the Metro cleaner and safer.
