they should expand it out. i always see it but wonder what it is and how would someone know about that service?
they should create an internet
We have this in San Antonio. Called via link. Only certain areas though
Wish we had this here in the bay area.
Same here!
The fact that some have bike racks is awesome!
Wish the metro micro zone is in Sylmar San Fernando Metrolink Station from CSUN as it takes an hour with two busses to ride so class done at like 8 pm but no way to get to train station early enough for the 8:16 PM train even if I were to leave class early.
I like it! Beats crowded buses.
Can seat 8-10 poeple inside...although she there's usually not more than 3 poeple inside
This is great news!
Hope they bring it to Florida one day
Why doesn't this have more views?
Hallelujah!
Thos is pretty awesome! Hope this expands out toore cities
Hahahahahahah good job muricans, finally you figured it out!
Still not available in Alhambra into Downtown. =(
Basically vans like in Mexico. Nice! You pay small fee and you get ti your destination
They will pick-up/drop-off at my house? Will they accept a suitcase?
Unfortunately the app doesn’t work well, even if you select the area where they service, the app says it’s unable to provide transportation 🤦♀️. Hopefully they work out the glitches.
Always room for improvement. You can always contact Metro for feedback.
It's not a glitch. Depending on where you are it could be because there are few units available in your area or your destination doesn't fit with the unit routes. I also encounter this issue when ordering Metro Micro. Fastest time for me to wait for the Micro to picked me up was 3,5 hours 😢
Fleet is too small and the drivers are somewhat unmotivated at their job due to them being paid not by the amount of passengers that they took. Wished LA County MTA would take control of the Metro Micro from private operators and paid the driver salaries like regular bus driver to improve the service and increase ridership
Or just replace them by autonomous mini bus.
@@waza3350 Using who's technology lol? In Western countries nobody has ever succeeded in making autonomous buses successful in such a scale that the Metro Micro currently operates. Only China who's been successful in that sector and with the trade war going on I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be sharing such technology anytime soon
@@Kuricang31 Is that a joke ? Waymo in California is driving millions of autonomous km without any issues. There are hundred of new videos everydqy of people filming their autonomous trip. Don't live in the past.
@@waza3350 If you can't differentiate between those two autonomous vehicles then there is no use to continue the discussion. Especially if you are talking about Waymo cars that are basically uses your average Mercedes or Pacifica but with the exception of numerous sensory and robotic equipments that were strapped outside of the car. Completely different from those autonomous busses you've seen driving around within the campus grounds or in China lol
@@Kuricang31 If you can make a Pacifica autonomous then you can do the same for a Ford transit. Don't be sad because your job will be replaced.
I'd rather go with UBER. The vehicle called Micro... could create inside vehicle fights.
riyalein ride
They will never make money.
For the employees
Thats not the point of metro
@@ciello___8307 You kind of need to make money
@@tvviewer4500 no brother this is a government subsidized program. Not everything is about turning a profit
@@jwubbz Between inflation and gas prices. It won't last long.
Who the hell wants to take ride in the watts/Compton area? 😂
Me.
People who live there…
well this sounds like a giant money suck...
All of Metro always has been. Before the pandemic, riders paid either 1/4th or 1/6th (I forget which) of operating costs. The rest was subsidized.
@@myoldvhstapes That makes sense.
Hell a dollar a ride will not even pay maintenance costs of the vehicle,
Metro is a government transportation service, not a private company
@@ciello___8307 is that a justification to lose money. not sure what you are trying to say.
@@AlaskanInsights metro isn't always going to prioritize profit. Their main goal is to provide a transportation service, even if its not that profitable
