@@TheMetropolitanNetwork I agree. There are many times where I would go to tap my phone and the driver just waves everybody on because he says he’s running late. Happens more than I can count and I’m more than happy to pay but they don’t even give the opportunity to do that. They just start waving everybody on.
It’s because the US government was focusing on Eastern Europe and Middle East conflicts instead of nationwide crimes. Maybe. *sniffs* Maybe. That's why it was expensive on gas prices and foods.
LA metro definitly needs to get its act together on safety. I have no experience with crime while I was onboard (out of pure luck), but i know that in order for ridership to grow, there needs to be better planning, police, and paying passengers in order for the system to feel safe for riders. This is probably not a new trend with Metro, though.
Within the last 10 years, we have seen a lot of unlawful individuals on the bus, train and at the stations. Some questionable individuals have also been appearing in Orange County as well. It’s a statewide issue and these politicians have to make changes before more innocents have to die. We don’t mind seeing the national guard walking around major stations and transit hubs. Identify, evict, and secure!
@@TheMetropolitanNetwork Agreeable. There has to be major changes done, such as armed forces and more housing to help alleviate these crimes that are rampant with Metro now.
This is terrible news, thank you for bringing awareness to this issue.
No one is safe on transit until some sort of safety measures are in place.
I like all the suggestions except for privatizing Metro & closing stations. We need those stations for metro rail to work.
If the drivers stop letting people board the bus without paying, also on the rail. The system will be safer. Thank you for your comment.

It’s very common on Metro Lines in the city that we experienced. Hope they fix it fast.
I’ve always felt safe on transit in LA. BUT WHAT THE HELL HAS BEEN GOING ON THESE PAST FEW MONTHS?!?

Save us TMN! Save us from the low life’s. Shame on Metro for letting this get out of control.
