First off, I want to thank everyone who’s taken the time to fill out our Why You Ride (or Don’t) surveys – there’s nearly 100 of you now.

For those who have yet to fill out a survey, find a moment this weekend to share your story with us. It won’t take that long and it’s your chance to tell the agency (and fellow readers) what you think of transit in L.A.

Our results are still lopsided towards the transit riding crowd and we’re eager to hear from all those Angelenos who don’t ride.

What’s the number one reason so far that non-transit riders have given for driving a car? Convenience, plain and simple.

Here’s the Why You Don’t Ride surveys we’ve posted:

• Jonny, Santa Monica
• Karl, Sherman Oaks

And here’s the Why You Ride surveys:

• Michelle, San Fernando Valley
• John, Koreatown

You’ll notice that I’ve highlighted responses I found particularly interesting in the surveys.

Finally, here are the links to the surveys:

• Why Do You Ride? Take this survey if you’re a regular transit rider.
• Why Don’t You Ride? Take this survey if you don’t take transit regularly.

Have a great weekend!
