Complaints and criticism:

MrGilpin The silver line always seems to take FOREVER @metrolosangeles

HecAndrade On the @metrolosangeles 550 and just spotted TWO roaches. Great!

igetrad yeah, it’s not like I had a choice RT @TransitTVLA: @igetrad Thanks for watching! Woohoo #Metrolosangeles

tykejohnson @metrolosangeles lol @tapreadycard . foolishly thought #metro was implementing a logical debit tap fare card. went to site, let down. #fail

DaftElf @metrolosangeles :: Can Blue Line drivers @ 7th/metro tell Red Line is unloading? Always leaving w/ empty seats & people running up stairs.

PBunches No word on why the 720 bus is on detour on either @metrolosangeles or on metro.net but you should expect delays.

HecAndrade Where’s the @metrolosangeles 550? Oh, nowhere to be found. Surprise.

tykejohnson @metrolosangeles “we’re 2 minutes ahead of schedule. Gotta wait.” Can we please all stop the lie that busses run on ANY timetables. #metro

Kudos and Compliments:

soulbarn HUZZAH! @metrolosangeles finally institutes cash-value TAP cards. Now, let’s get NY-style bulk ride discounts.

thelittlefella Hallelujah! @metrolosangeles: Ticket machines that sell TAP cards and stored value coming to Metro Rail station near you.

mysocalledtweet I have to find another excuse to take Metro often. I wanna tap, tap, TAP too!

the_anty Finally! RT @metrolosangeles: Ticket machines that sell TAP cards/stored value coming to Metro Rail station near you.

alloutattack @metrolosangeles Adding “stored value” to my TAP card was fast & strangely satisfying. However SV term is too clunky for a service roll out.

Observations in transit and a few good ideas, after the jump.

Observations in transit:

sallywasmyride Oh @metrolosangeles how I missed your ever changing display of the crazies!

kenyaw O/H on @metrolosangeles #Greenline a woman on cell says moving to #Longbeach w/ #BlueLine + #DTLB free buses saves time & $ on commute

cindymariej I don’t know what the heck is up with @metrolosangeles Directions, but google maps is way easier. #BeverlyBlvdNotBeverlyGardens

sallywasmyride Early day on @metrolosangeles. The moon is still out. First day of the rest of my life.

Good ideas:

RedEbbm I want to start a campaign to get @metrolink to use TAP now that it’s getting good use on #metrolosangeles Good idea?

ieko1224 @metrolosangeles make use of Silver Line brand, cut 445, extend some SL trips to Pedro. Then people will know about Carson & PCH stations!
