Sure but you'd be surprised how many teenagers take the E Line to the high school right next to a station, trains get pretty packed at peak. But ultimately Eglington should have just been proper grade separated metro trains for capacity/speed anyway, which would render this issue null

FWIW LA Metro's Kinki Sharyo's are much the same in having a flat topped coupler with only the platform bollards. Gap is a bit narrower but would still be enough for someone to stand in, but I've never heard of this happening.

Now that takes the cake for biggest thing I've taken seen on a bus, easily.

I was shocked how many people were waiting to board a southbound 460 at Norwalk on Saturday morning. With a lot using it as a local route and not for getting to Knotts or Disneyland

LA has them at every library, I've used them on more than one occasion cause it was convenient and not reliant on our mail system.

Wild to see them using a Reddit post as the picture for this and not something taken by Metro staff

Especially considering this Jacobs firm is not the primary contractor for segment 1, I think their full project knowledge is limited.

Now conversely to what I stated in my other reply, I don't think this is good evidence because it's speaking on street restoration items, which Metro noted in August's D line community meeting would continue into 2026 after planned substantial completion & service start dates

Given the CPUC requirement of 8 weeks of prerevenue service pattern testing, I'd expect them to announce right about now at the latest testing starting next month, if it were opening this year. Considering that hasn't happened...

Extending the LAX mover would clearly be superior, but as usual for America, transit governance issues make that basically impossible (not to mention its dead ending into a giant parking garage)

That there is no price difference offered for parking a small car and a big ass SUV in the city is a big part of it, a Miata owner pays exactly the same to garage park in a space that is far too big for it as a Tahoe owner barely squeezing in. I'll just save $ and take transit/uber instead.

Smaller than the largest cars (good!) but unfortunately larger than the small cars to fit in bigger batteries. Small offerings are thin or nonexistent (depending on the market) and the price gap to their ICE equivalent is worse than at the mid-size segment, so longer to save with running costs

I can't speak for every agency here but for LA at least the large number of at grade LRT stops is pulling down the average, vs ST has a higher proportion of grade separated stations. Would love to see this data with at grade stops removed. 3 avg is high still but 2 for redundancy seems prudent.

I definitely get the impression they try to keep it on the D line more often than not during these early days since it will cause less disruption than the B line if it breaks down, with redundancy from the 20/720 between Vermont and Western

Not that I agree with spiking it due to its importance but it's a huge hole we find ourselves in and getting California alone to pay for it (while trying to make up for federal cuts to everything else) with state money could be impossible for Metro. (2/2)

It occurs to me that with costs skyrocketing since the initial proposal + tariff caused increases, the price might be vastly higher than last thought. Even if we wait for new Dem admin, the ability to get fed. funding vs everything else that needs repair in gov it may be impossible to pay for (1/2)
