  1. I like having Greyhound at El Monte station. It’s convenient for making connections to and from local transit. Calling it a competitor to Metro doesn’t make sense to me, because taking Greyhound to other points within LA is much more expensive than Metro and I doubt people use it that much for those kinds of trips when they can take the Silver Line or something. And it’s not like you can take Metro to Las Vegas or some other long-distance destination…

  2. I would like to state that I think calling Metro employees “moron” is quite harsh.

    Many of us appreciate having Metro availible to take us to work, shopping, appointments and to fun!! We are thankful foR all that Metro does and provides to LA County.

    Unfortunately not every decision is pleasing to everyone. Overall I am happy with the system and excited for the future of transportation in LA County. GO METRO!!

  3. There was apparently a bus bay reassignment at the Norwalk Station, regarding Line 577X (to which new bus bay, I am not sure). Additionally, El Monte Station could use some “bus bay” reassignments that: 1.) Allow the 267 and 268 Lines to come inside El Monte Station (as the Line 287 now does!), and 2.) GETTING RID OF GREYHOUND, as it is STUPID for a competitor to the MTA to be given space inside a MTA bus terminal! Finally, having a bus bay for “Discharge” and “Overflow” makes NO SENSE AT ALL! Who is the MORON that came up with the El Monte Bus Bay assignments?
