  1. When Metro talks about fare restructuring, they need to consider these factors.

    LA is a city where a lot of things are going on like President Obama visit to maintenance delays or whatever on any particular day that delays due to unforeseen circumstances.

    These are sure to create lots of headaches for people if they don’t choose the right fare method.

    If we were on a time based system right now, would it really help travelers when delays like these happen that is no fault of their own?

    I really wouldn’t like it if we were on a time based system right now where my time is up because it caused a 30 minute traffic jam on our surface streets thanks to Obama visiting.

    A let’s face it, LA is a big political battleground, we’re always going to have candidates and future presidents always coming to LA.
