hnjohnso The design of the @metrolosangeles 7th/metro station is awkward if you have one way and want to go from red to blue line. Are you supposed to exit to buy a ticket and then go back in to transfer trains? In the same station? So dumb. #metrolosangeles

helloitsmike Speechless. The 232 bus driver just got off the bus and went into starbucks. Mid-route. Unbelievable. @metrolosangeles

plusMETRO This lady tried and failed to pay for a Big Blue Bus fare with a @metrolosangeles TAP card! How embarrassing … for the Transit Agencies.

sunny_Menagerie This bus was over a half hour late…@metrolosangeles makes me want to listen to BLG & 30 seconds to mars while watching traffic light

yestrask Yeah @metrolosangeles, I wanted to spend over an hour of my Saturday night not with my friends, but waiting for the 4. Get it together.

the_anty i will never understand why typing in actual @metrolosangeles station names doesn’t always work on mta.net route planning

Kythera Bus 5185 (westbound 108) is OUT of transfers?? Would have been nice to know before I paid for one. @metrolosangeles

yestrask Thanks again @metrolosangeles, I could have walked faster.

tedder42 Doing the westside walk to work, @metrolosangeles driver didn’t stop at the eastside stop.

mandiesurja 243 at Winnetka/Parthenia always late… More than 5 minutes… It should be there at 8 AM… @metrolosangeles

mfarnan @metrolosangeles Driver of bus 7112 is the slowest ever. Hasn’t gone more than 10mph. We’re getting passed by bikes. Seriously. #fail

Denise_V @metrolosangeles Why is the bus 201 so behind? Been waiting for 30 mins! It was scheduled to come at 6:02 and now it’s 6:30. Makes no sense

jaredjerome @metrolosangeles 260 northbound is 86 minutes away accordin to next stop schedule has it here in 20. I’ll just keep hanging in the ghetto.

SurrealMystery Wow, @MetroLosAngeles has been really disappointing lately. “The 78 should’ve been here already” is something I say 6 times a week now.

richardx7 @metrolosangeles If there are three carts to every Metro, why are there only two buses available to transfer people from Washington to 7th?

ashleycarey Paid more than I make in a week to refill my @metrolosangeles TAP card yesterday at Ralph’s. It didn’t go through, TAP won’t help me at all.

SamValley @metrolosangeles Due to one of your drivers’ bad directions, I missed an event I wanted to attend.

Kythera Fabulous! According to #nextrip, the previous bus didn’t exist, and the next one is 15 minutes late this morning! #metrolosangeles #fail

ashleycarey The @metrolosangeles 181 westbound is ten minutes behind schedule, which could very possibly cost me my job.

ADD_Avenger Seriously @metrolosangeles the #I405 is one of the busiest freeways in the country we NEED to #BuildASepulvedaTrainBefore2039

ADD_Avenger The reason we don’t have a #Masstransit system in #LA that people WANT to use is that they complain to their friends not @metrolosangeles

calwatch The silver line is doing great tonight… Too bad @metrolosangeles only runs it once an hour after 10. So much for rail like service.
