Okay, Here's the place to describe your weirdest, best or worst problem with commuter lines. What sparked this post was my trip on the LA MTA Gold Line. As all have seen, packed to the gills with people riding free on their weekend inaugural. I was there, the reason was all the festival stuff they had going on at different station stops. The new line is nice, the LRCs are quiet, but saw my first grafitti tag on a new car. So I decided to try and ride when not so crowded. Murphy's Law: pick a time, it'll never be right. A rare thunderstorm went through the area, so raining cats and dogs. The train ahead of us broke down at the end of the line, so we sat waiting for a reverse move, as they switched traffic direction. Apparently, no crossovers for three stations. Anyway, I decided to time how long it would take to get from Pasadena to LAX. Three transfers later, and almost 2 hours, I decided that getting to the airport by transit was not very efficient, even if it was $1.60. No matter, this is LA, and besides they don't have turnstile jumpers . . . because there are no turnstiles! Yes, they get rid of their conductors after peak hours, so it's a massive honor system running thorugh some of the least honorable parts of the city. And now you know why California has budget problems . . .
