It’s great that Metro is creating new fun ideas and activities like these, but wouldn’t it be better if Metro themselves make money off these ideas and activities so that they actually get extra revenue?
I mean take for example, this fun “ugly sweatshirt” idea. It’s cool and everything, but seriously, if Metro wanted to, they can actually sell ugly sweatshirts themselves for a profit and save those profits to put it back into their revenue stream.
Dude, the LA County Coroner’s office has it’s own Skeleton’s In The Closet gift shop (with their own ugly sweatshirt).

You mean to tell me a government agency that deals with storing dead bodies has a sense of humor and can figure out how to make extra money over a public transit agency?
About the closest thing I have to an ugly sweater is an obsolete uniform sweater that’s a souvenir of my nearly a decade of part-time service to a chain of ice rinks that hasn’t even existed for about a decade: a simple red pullover sweater with a 1980s-era Ice Capades Chalet logo.
