ChineseMetro Red Line Blog
Contributed by Fred Camino on June 12th, 2006 at 2:08 pm
I just found this great blog dedicated to LA’s only subway, the Metro Red Line. The Metro Red Line Blog has very imformative and well written posts “about the future of the Metro Red Line and a candid examination of all consumer issues that will result in improved service to the users.” It seems that the blog is created by the members of The Transit Coalition and has the following goals:
- Many consumer issues need to be addressed collectively
- Removal of legal prohibitions on tunneling
- Develop and gather substantial public support
- Changing the political attitude and climate
- MTA attention to detail
- Span of Service Hours to be improved late night / early morning
- Potential future funding sources for expansion
- Increased Transit Orientated Development around stations
- Better public communications
- Increased parking at stations
- Direct access via elevator / escalator to / from Red / Gold Lines
- Direct access via portal to / from Orange / Red Lines
- Increased service frequency to / from Hollywood / S.F. Valley
- Improved bus / rail connections
- Improved bus information systems / maps / schedules
- Elevator / escalator maintenance
- System security
- Station signage including train arrivals
- Removal of bicycle restrictions
- Barrier free system versus gate access
- Smart cards (Universal Fare Cards) / TAP (Transit Access Pass)
I have to say, I support every single one of those initiatives!

yeah, they’re really on point with this stuff. i really like the idea of access/portals that connect the gold and orange better and of couse, the station signage. and by god, how ’bout some clocks at these stations. but yeah, spot on Transit Coalition.
