New bus schedules:
Kythera Woo! Day one of using the new schedule for the 108 went smoothly. Keep it up, @metrolosangeles!
hormiga @plusmetro Did #metrolosangeles update the google maps transit data with the new schedules? It took them a few days last time around.
@hormiga, I’m happy to report that the transit feed has been updated and all the new data is online.
Mag_Noona @metrolaalerts why did u make the 222 arrive earlier to stops if the other buses are not changed?! we’re just waiting in the street longer!
Fare increase:
skrooz #metrolosangeles The new July rate will cost me $60/month to ride the metro and the monthly pass is $75? Mmm…paper tickets here I come.
gometro Instead of raising our fares next week, @MetroLosAngeles should take a slice of the pirated DVD sales on the Blue Line. #MetroFares
Complaints:
jonthelam Unbelievable! Over 1 hr waiting. @metrolosangeles you guys suck!
LAwithoutacar @metrolaalerts, i have an alert for you: tell your buses to share the road! bus 03138 almost ran me down!
Rider observations:
plusMETRO Just saw a person climb over @metrolosangeles turnstiles. Must be a New Yorker.
HLP90042 New @metrolosangeles info kiosks go up at Metro Gold line stations, while 1/2 the lights at Highland Park station are burned out.
