To Kevin, Well, LA's Metro is mostly LRT, so they don't technically have conductors, just ticket "inspectors" I guess. Yeah, I paid for my transfer. But when I got my ticket-- it looked like a grocery receipt, made out of the same paper roll-- I was amazed they had no electronic bar code on it, no magnetic strip, etc. I just think it's stupid not to have some sort of ticket validations. But again, this is LA. Each rail line has its own character, they connect to each other, but don't really do the same things, it's rails-to-nowhere. The connections are totally ill-conceived. For instance, it is virtually impossible to go to LAX by rail. You have to go down to Union Station by Gold, transfer to Red for three stops, transfer to Blue and ride and ride and ride (no express trains) all the way down to Green, make a giant geographical right-angle and ride and ride and ride to Aviation where (maybe) you will be picked up by a bus. Everybody drives anyway, so the incentive to get people using transit is winked at. Their real points-of-sale are all located on the busses. I agree with VSmith, they need someone to coordinate everything, instead of running what is the equivalent of the Toonerville Trolley.
