I just drove the 210 freeway the other day. There is a light rail system in the median. The whole train can carry maybe 80-100 people. How much difference can that make when the LA area is 20 million people? It’s like trying to fill a lake by having one person pee into it. And I’m sure that system cost billions.

Most all of these deals funnel money to regime affiliates.
Some to the big hitter cronies at the top, and plenty to the unionized workforce too. It’s part of the Democrat “spend & elect” cycle.

Are you trying to hurt their feelings by talking bad about their pride and joy metrolink trains? I actually think we should take a different approach for all these boondoggles.

We should embrace them, and require ALL Public Employees in the State to use nothing but Public Transportation to and from their respective workplaces, No Taxpayer Owned Drive Home Vehicles either.
