Wiggins. What a fluff and bs piece this is.
if Vides actually believes the Ambassadors are any factor of safety she and the Board should be fired. Free money for the Ambassadors, not their fault, not equipped not trained for reality. They play with their phones and smile. This is what our politicians come up with because some liberals cow tow to defund police, don’t trust police, etc. You take a poll of metro commuters 99% will tell you we wish a cop was on every ride. Nothing else discourages bad behavior.

Aww poor fella sucks to be you how dare they cut into your profits
Poor little fella they cut into them huge profits you’ll be okay boo boo
This is complete BS! There is ZERO OVERSIGHT! BPNC gets 6 million for a two year contract and helps no one. They house no one, you are lucky if they have food. All they do is abuse individuals and get away with murder with no consequences
I've dealt with awful cab drivers my whole life~ horrible attitudes & they always want to tell me their tale of woe. Plus they never want to go to outlying neighborhoods~ Lyft and Uber build a better mousetrap. I have NO sympathy for them~
i cant get this david nazar seriously
Trash!
Take Los Angeles Metro if you have a death wish.
Agreed.
Need more ambassadors and diplomats. 😂😂😂🤦🏻♂️
These people have been paying substandard wages to employees for a long time. This is nothing but a load of garbage from this guy. He just wants to keep making money at the expense of the people who work for him. The owners Witch and moan and eventually they pay the wage increase because they won’t have any income either. The worst thing this country ever did was to get rid of unions.
Seattle Washington a city for high quality class of people for light rail rider people 😂 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
Seattle Washington don't give a damn about poor poverty-stricken 😒 😐 😕
The premise you start out with is crap...thanks for the partisan spin.
I visited LA recently for about a day and I utilized the transit system for my travel exclusively. I agree with Ms. Wiggins that a rail link to the airport is crucial. I chose to fly out of Burbank vs LAX specifically because I could ride a train to the airport. I did not find the subway to be especially unsafe, at least compared to Portland (maybe that's not saying much), where I am from. There were a lot of security or other Metro personnel at the stations. The couple times I did find myself in a less-safe situation was while I was on the train themselves, and that's where I think authorities might be better utilized. I also rode several buses, which I found to be quite convenient. Overall, from my experience during my short and limited visit, I think the transit system in LA is great, for the area it covers. The challenge comes with the sprawl of the area and the many destinations people might want to visit, and trying to cover all those areas with transit links. If the city and its citizens are willing to invest a lot of money and patience, LA is on track to have an unstoppable transit system.
L.A. metro has to many loiters on trains and buses.
make it easier to pay.
What I notice about the Metro buses I don't see that many Metro rapids anymore now I wonder why they run every 45 minutes to an hour!🙎🤦 More bus shortage prices continue spiking up now I wonder why!🙎🤦
Is the metro cashless or they still accept cash
They have to kick out all the homeless from metro to make it safer
Metro rail is fine and dandy but the problem is the Nextgen Bus plan was the problem by cutting one seat rides across the county and eliminating Metro Rapid Bus Routes. Stop building rail and fix the bus network.
Guy's a psychopath
El Problema en EEUU es que no parece estar diseñado para el uso de transporte publico, Europa o España muchas ciudades son históricas, por eso hay calles estrechas, muchas zonas son patrimonio de la humanidad y para conservarlo hay que limitar el trafico de Vehículos, se le trata de quitar espacio al coche para crear parques y zonas de paseo, por eso se facilita un abono transporte que vale para metro, tren y bus y un precio económico, para viajar entre ciudades como España es mucho mas pequeño que EEUU se facilita los trenes de alta velocidad de bajo coste, un viaje Madrid a Barcelona puede valer 7€ o 9€ y se tarda 2,30 horas en recorrer los 630 km de distancia, eso facilita el uso del tren frente al avión. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nmZ70tRum62Yj5s.htmlsi=Ws3L1TArELdPG5uv&t=1 Aquí es bueno y económico el transporte publico y es rápido y cómodo y mucha gente usa transporte publico en vez de su vehículo para ir a trabajar.
Bald, arrogant and selfish is no way to go through life. You a-hole
This is the same thing white men say when they get exonerated for crimes against minority groups, be it Jews, blacks ,Hispanic , Asians, middle easterns etc
How was I supposed to know this video was fake. Well you have every right to call me a fool.
He willingly leaned that ice sculpture back knowing how heavy and breakable and fragile it was. Admire his work but don’t touch it.
That reporter did it on purpose. I saw it!.
I know knocking down that ice sculpture was an accident but you ruined a piece of art.
He's a horrible person. Not because of his skin color but because till this day he still thinks it's okay he almost killed an innocent bystander whose only crime was driving through that intersection. Them taking it out on random whites was F'ed up and didn't get them anywhere. He wants attitudes to change towards black folks but yet they act like this does not help them so they wonder why things haven't changed? Acting like this? It's even more sad and pathetic he didn't even get wiser with age. What a POS. Reginald did nothing to him or any black person, he was just driving his truck and nothing else. Because he was white? These black folks like him are worse then anyone with racism and hate.
Ride for free. Just jump on the bus or train and ignore the fare. Thousands do it daily. LA Metro doesn't specialize in rapid transit, so travel times along bus and light rail will take just as long. Drug use, active psychosis, theft, urination and violence, I have seen it all (and often).
Not true, and you obviously haven't used it recently.
Not true, and you obviously haven't used it recently.
A law enforcement officer at every station to make sure everyone pays would help with the violence and crime. I think the recent plan that Metro has to hire a dedicated transit police force is a great step in the right direction.
In your interviews it would be good to ask a few baseline questions, the same ones, to each person. For example: What Metro line(s) do you use most? What time of day, and day(s) of the week, do you use it? Did you use Metro during Covid? Difference before, during, and after Covid. Great to get first person interviews. Dealing with fare evasion would have a positive domino effect on the LA Metro. The problem is that many of the older stations on the A and E lines still don't have fare turnstiles. That's how many homeless get on the trains. They need to retrofit these stations with modern fare gates the kind being proposed for BART. I don't like the ones NYC is testing. Personally, I stopped using the LA Metro during the 3 years of Covid. However, I started riding it again when the Regional Connector opened in June 2023. Even during these last 10 months I've seen a noticeable improvement on the LA Metro. Rode the LA Metro today, 4-28-24, to attend the Fiesta Broadway event and visit Chinatown. Took the A and E lines several times throughout my 5 hour excursion. Many people riding both lines. I had very few issues, the trains were on time, and the stations were clean including the elevators. The few problems were one broken escalator on the Historic Broadway station, some homeless guys passed out on the Northbound A line to Chinatown, and discarded food wrappers debris on the same A line train. Oh, and one Southbound A line train from Little Tokyo station had no A/C. But, overall, a good experience. No fighting, no loud music, no yelling. Though passengers with bikes don't seem to know where on the trains they need to board with their bikes. That can cause a problem too when entering and exiting a train. Lastly, I have noticed more people increasingly using the LA Metro more often during the last 10 months. Thanks.
Can it help benzo withdrawal? Anxiety?
Many systems in the world accept credit card tap to pay. I don’t understand why LA Metro requires a special “Tap” card.
You can put an electronic version of the TAP card on your phone, and use your phone to TAP. Many riders do it.
@@mrxman581 Got it. The point tho is that requires an out of town visitor to figure that out and set it up. When I visit London, I just tap my credit card (or card on my phone) that I already have. What limitation does LA metro have that the London Underground doesn’t?
@LS-jv4uh It might have to do with the CAP fare system where you don't pay more than $5 a day or $18 a week no matter how many rides you take including buses. They keep track of how much you've spent via your TAP card number. If you did it via credit card, that would be much more difficult, especially if you use more than one card. If they did ever accept credit cards, I would think you would have to add the number to a TAP account so it can keep track of how much you've spent in real time. The CAP fare system is a great deal for tourists. However, many tourists also like to keep the TAP card as a souvenir. They also don't expire.
I feel like life drastically improved when I stopped using public transportation. I was so fed up having this feeling of being unsafe and in constant alert every single second. All the homeless, people smoking inside the trains, people with mental illness screaming or repeating nonsense. The only place in the world things are like this. I'm so happy Im not american, and looking forward to return to europe. it's not perfect there, but definitely way better, and feels a lot safer.
I’ll never forget my first time riding transit in LA (also happened to be my first time riding transit anywhere) and I was traveling alone across town from Westwood to catch the Surfliner at Union Station. Well, I was waiting on a platform downtown for a transfer and a guy five feet away from me got punched unprovoked. Such a random attack… it could have been me! It really doesn’t deter me from riding transit in LA or elsewhere, but it sure did get my adrenaline running.
I've taken all lines: red, gold, blue etc. It's basically skid row on wheels. The one constant is the 8 am to union on the red line. Like every homeless guy from north hollywood just turn it into their personal hilton. And a majority of riders dont even pay. Just have your spider sense on defcon 5 when you ride, and you'll probably be fine.
The gridlock is 24 hours a day!!!!!!!
Bozo lol
Here's are tips we all got during the real crime wave in NYC during the early 1980's. 1 - Be aware of your surroundings, see who's coming and going. I'll update this one by saying get off the i-phone until you see you're safe. 2 - Power in numbers. Don't get into an empty car. 3 - Let a suspicious person see that you are aware of their presence. Criminals like the element of surprise, Don't give it to them. 4 - Carry a bottle of mace or even a simple whistle. 5 - Don't flash expensive jewelry, or any other expensive item that can make you a target. Police can only do so much and mostly arrive after the fact. The rest is up to you.
So what did NYC do since then to improve security in their metros?
@@buggernut3643 They increased police in high crime platforms and they informed us on exactly what I posted here. Of course there was also the normal cycle of crime just going down. This advice served me well when I lived in NYC. I've never been robbed even when I was on the streets at 3AM.
@@edwinrivera4735 Ah there you go. Maybe that's an idea that LA should copy.
@@buggernut3643 Or maybe folks should use their cell phones less while on the streets. People in public now look like zombies as their eyes are focused on their I-phone oblivious on what's going on around them.
@@edwinrivera4735 I agree that's a bad habit, but crime should be kept under control and we shouldn't have to blame the victim.
The Metro is a good option if you want to be a victim of crime.
should be in jail
David, thanks for covering this, it is sad.
I just finished watching your show on KLCS regarding the LA Metro (I believe originally aired in January 2024). While it was interesting, there are some points of clarification. Not only was L.A. designed around mass transit, it's design was influenced more than most major U.S. cities. Most people don't remember the Pacific Electric/Red Car. This was literally the blue print that made the city what it is. Why more people don't ride the trains? Yes, safety is a big factor - but a larger factor is they don't go anywhere of importance. When the green line was originally designed, it was supposed to go to the airport. However, the airport didn't want to lose the parking revenue and fought it, so it veers at the end. When building the red line that goes through Hollywood to Universal, did they put a stop at the Hollywood Bowl to make it easy and affordable for people to go there? Of course not, it goes right underneath and bypasses it. When they built the line to Inglewood, did they put a stop at the corner where the Forum and So-Fi Stadium come together? Of course not. When they extended the gold line into the San Gabriel Valley, did they make a stop at the L.A. Fairgrounds? Of course not. Is there a line that connects the valley to Pasadena, serving the Burbank airport and Glendale (two cities that contribute a considerable amount to Metro's fund)? Of course not. Are there park and ride lots conveniently located along the different lines, so commuters can drive to their nearest station then take the train network? Of course not. I could go on and on. The system is poorly laid out, influenced by greed and personal interests - and not the need of the public.
Thank you so much for your comments. Really great info and sounds like you know a lot about the LA transportation system. Send me any other info so I can advance this story.
You're actually wrong and not up to date on most of the issues you're talking about. Most, if not all, of these issues are or have been addressed. Many have been planned for a while, but due to the funding schemes, they have to wait in line for the funding. LA Metro goes to many important places today and even more so in the future. You obviously don't know that because you don't use it. Try it sometime to go to the Santa Monica pier, the Broad, Music Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall, the various museums and sporting venues in Exposition Park, USC, Hollywood Blvd, Little Tokyo, Arts District, Historic Broadway, etc, etc. The A line is being extended to Pomona, and Metrolink offers a train service from Union Station to the fairgrounds. There is a proposed BRT that will go from the SFV to Pasadena. Both the C and K lines will connect to LAX via the APM by 2025 or earlier. The Hollywood and Highland station is within walking distance of the Bowl, but there is also a complimentary shuttle from the station up the hill to the Bowl. I've taken it several times when I don't feel like walking. The topology of the Hollywood Bowl is more complex and there wasn't enough funding. However, they are proposing a station there as part of the K Line extension North. The K Line route was approved before the Sofi stadium was even a thing. However, with Sofi, the Forum, and the upcoming Intuit Dome, Inglewood has decided to build a people mover to serve those venues and it's residents. And, many stations have park and ride lots right next to the stations including on the newest extension of the A line to Pomona. There is also parking for the E line Atlantic Station, Indiana Station, Culver City Station to name a few. Again, ride LA Metro so you have a much better idea of what it actually serves vs your idea of what you think it serves. BTW, many routes use old ROWs that LA Metro already owns. Several were old Red Car ROWs. It's not due to your conspiracy theories. That's true for your theory about why the Green line stopped short of LAX. The real reason was mostly due to federal regulations.
@@DavidNazarNewsHe really doesn't know as much as he thinks he does.
@@mrxman581 Thank you for supporting my statement, even though that wasn't your intention. Does the rail system service places such as the Broad (servicing dozens of people daily)? Absolutely. Does it however service the places I listed (servicing 10's of thousands)? Nope. Does it go to any of the high traffic places I listed? Nope. Were these locations originally discussed when designing the system? Yes, however outside influences shaped the system into what it is today. Yes, you can take shuttles, commuters, buses to these places - but that defeats the purpose. If you go to places such as New York or Paris, the rail goes to the areas in question - there are no shuttles. As for options like Metrolink, the schedule does not allow use as public transit. Metrolink is designed to arrive in the morning and leave in the evening (e.g. work commuters). As for the Hollywood Bowl, the average person is not going to walk 1 mile straight up hill before a concert from Hollywood & Highland. If you are going to take a shuttle, then you might as well take a park and ride shuttle and forget the rail all together. Finally, you talk about how most of these issues have been addressed but due to lack of funding they can't be implemented. Well, if the system hadn't been laid out incorrectly in the first place, you wouldn't need to fix it and waste countless millions of dollars further. These places didn't just pop up - they were there long before the rail. You list several theories, but what I stated were simple facts. No conspiracies involved.
@@visionary_accessYou obviously have no idea what you're talking because you don't use Metro. I do, and have used it to all the places I listed which you conveniently ignored because it doesn't fit your ignorant argument. The Regional Connector stations are becoming more popular every day as more people keep on discovering them. The comparisons that you make with Paris, for example, are irrelevant. You're comparing a city that is only aeound 40 square miles to LA which is over 10 TIMES AS LARGE at around 500 square miles. And, Paris started building their Metro over 100 years ago. LA Metro started operations in 1990. Los Angeles has built more public rail transit than any other US city in the last 33 years and will continue to expand for the foreseeable future. Don't comment of stuff you know very little about. Granted, their your opinions just don't forget that they're not actual facts. BTW, Metrolink is also going through a huge transformation including having more frequent service. Oh, and a lot of people arrive at the Hollywood Bowl on the Meteo. Younger patrons walk up, and older people take the shuttle. It's more convenient than driving, paying for parking, and then waiting a very long time to get out of the parking. Besides, the Hollywood Bowl is also changing their parking lots up there. Lastly, again, you have very little knowledge about how and why LA Metro is being built the way it is. They aren't my theories they're facts. You're the one with conspiracies. Re-read your comment.
The problem isnt that theres not enough public transport, there is but most people dont know about it. Metrolink and metro should collaborate together and share the train tracks together. I didnt even know that there was a glendale and burbank train station but its owned by metrolink. They have to connect it together.
In the internet age where everyone has a smartphone that's a pathetic excuse.
I'm not sure what you're referring to but they do share the track usage at Union Station. Metrolink has tracks there as well as LA Metro. BTW, LA Metro helps fund Metrolink. Metrolink is funded by each of the transit agencies from the 5 counties it serves. So there is good communication between the two.
I Agree. I think LA should look at what chicago is doing. They're merging the CTA (who operate the busses and the L train) and Metra (the long distance trains). I think merging metro and metrolink into the same entity could do wonders for improving LA's transit
@@brianholmes1812Not likely. See my reply above.
