Discussion and Consideration of Letter to City of Norwalk Public Hearing for Metro Line 270 and Presentation on Motion to Move Metrolink Station to base of Rio Hondo College.
Where is the letter? What do you mean?
Please list all the documentations here.
I would like to know if Metro has any plans to evaluate the changes made to the Silver Line. The evening commute has become a nightmare (at least 2 days a week.) For example, at times the regular 950 buses become the 910 and don’t travel to San Pedro. (Regular riders are familiar with 950 drivers.) I believe it is because the route is too long and gets caught in traffic east of downtown. We waited almost an hour to catch the 950 which normally picks us up around 5:45 pm. It didn’t come until 6:25 pm and suddenly became the last 950 for the day. At least six 910 buses passed by.
From my colleague Scott Page…
Hi Mary;
Your comments regarding the Silver Line 910/950 service is appreciated. Staff is aware there are service reliability problems in the PM rush hour. There are a number of items in the works to help improve the customer experience on the line. First, “all-door” boarding is coming to all Silver Line buses this June. This means that patrons with TAP cards may board at the front or rear door, which will greatly speed up the loading process at El Monte Station, 7th Metro, and Harbor Gateway Transit Center. A TAP validator will be installed just inside the back door of each bus.
To assist customers who do not have a TAP card, or need to add value to their existing TAP card, a new TAP machine is being installed right now at the Harbor Gateway Transit Center. You may see the construction fencing around the installation. Later, they will be installed at all the stations on the line, and again, this will speed up the loading process and reduce travel time.
The Scheduling Department is reviewing data right now to determine where improvements can be made to the schedule to improve on-time performance. Those changes will be reflected in the upcoming June 26, 2016 schedule changes.
Operations Management has agreed to move some Transportation Vehicle Supervisors from other lines to the Silver Line to focus on the PM rush hour periods, as well as the AM rush hour.
Thank you again for your comments.
Scott Page
Director, Service Performance and Analysis
Thank you for your prompt and detailed response. Metro should include the Harbor/Green Line Station with the first round of installation of tap validators. This is a busy/major stop for pickup for the Silver Line.
