Congestion pricing can save LAX – and the rest of L.A. too Use the notoriously traffic-choked "horseshoe" at LAX as a proving ground for congestion pricing. If Angelenos like what they see (and they very likely will), perhaps they'll warm to it for other road...

This is literally my dream

The City of Los Angeles has 43,700 homeless people. Seven of them die on the streets every day.

Mobilizing the planning department to slow-walk new mixed income housing near the train stations that taxpayers spent billions of dollars building reflects perverse priorities at best.

The epidemic of A line bunching continues. Waited 17 mins for a train then ofc there are 3 in a row. @metrolosangeles.bsky.social please fix this! Is this gonna get worse when the line is extended next month??

The Fall of Philadelphia — Human Transit The Pennsylvania State Senate has decided that the transit system of America’s fifth largest city should be substantially destroyed.  Similar dramas are playing out in Illinois, Oregon, and Rhode Isla...

I wrote an unusually strongly worded thing about the transit crisis in Pennsylvania, which is coming soon to Oregon and Illinois. humantransit.org/2025/08/the-...

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

Local tenant protections still apply

It’s insane! Literally two names ago!

Removing the pizza is a huge downgrade tho!

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

- 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

Full wraps and window dots on the Pacific Surfliner should be illegal @amtrak.com

We are living in a Veep bit

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

Need one of these on every avenue in LA. @pjrocks.bsky.social I trust you can make that happen!

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!

And these are no wayfinding signs showing you how to get to the stations at the ends of the path. Although there are solid signs on the rest of the path so maybe they are coming soon?

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!

Ended up biking the whole way!

I’m gonna go check this out today!

True there are Amtraks on the :13 but only 4 per day and only 2 that stop at Burbank downtown. Do you know why all Amtraks don’t stop at Burbank downtown?

Would be nice to have Metrolink at :00 and :30 and Amtrak at the ~:15.

Metrolink schedules between LAUS and Burbank with departures at :30 and :39

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?

2+ hour walk from Irvine amphitheater to Irvine station

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

With zero public outreach or notice, LA Metro removed a 3.3-mile protected bike lane from the North Hollywood BRT project design because it would have resulted in a 30% reduction of street parking. A *transit agency* prioritized a couple blocks of parking over the safety of its riders.
