We invite you to head on over to the Zocalo Public Square website to check out their latest Metro rider profiles. In the past couple of weeks we’ve met a rider who is a magnet for street preachers, a die-hard Lakers fan and another rider back on the train after being away — in jail — for 30 years. As usual, interesting stuff in easy-to-digest nuggets.

The profiles are part of an ongoing seres by Zocalo, in partnership with Metro. It’s a good chance to learn a nugget or two about some of the folks you may see on the bus or the train. You can also follow the series and participate on social media using the hashtag #myLAcommute.
