[tags]los angeles, red line, purple line, west hollywood, laist[/tags]
There’s been a lot of MetroRiderLA/LAist synergy lately. A lot of it, of course, was Fred’s stint as editor for a day. But, the site also had two subway-related polls, likely spurred on by the Pink Line meme. Fair warning: these polls are nonscientific, and are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. But, on the Pink Line question, 469 LAist readers responded (as of 10 p.m.) and favored:
Two Seperate [sic] Lines: Purple Line & Pink Line: 62% (290 votes)
Zig-Zag: Needs to Serve WeHo and other high usage spots, even if it adds an extra 10-minutes. 26% (124 votes)
Straight Shot: Strictly Along Wilshire Blvd. 12% (55 votes)
Other 2% (9 votes)
The two categories favoring rail service to West Hollywood make up 88 percent of the vote. Most, though, want both a Purple Line and a Pink Line — presumably with West Hollywood connected to Hollywood rather than Wilshire.
Another LAist guest editor, Zuma Dogg, had his own subway question. Even with the loaded option of, “Yes, reach right in my pocket and take out the cash, right now, for something that may not happen,” 131 of 154 votes, or 85 percent, voted for that option.
The evolution of the Pink Line meme follows the jump.
1. Boi from Troi - Subway to Sea: Where’s WeHo?
2. LAist - Wilshire Subway Watch: WeHo Gets Shafter
3. MetroRiderLA - Metro Pink Line? (map originates here)
4. LAist - Wilshire Subway Watch: Wilshire or WeHo? Vote on our new LAist Poll!
5. Los Angeles Times Bottleneck Blog - Purple Line … to West Hollywood?
… and perhaps more.

Thanks to LAist for letting me sit in for the day! Had a ton of fun and hopefully got some people thinking about transit.
Considering yor posts were the most commented on for the day and the day after i think it worked. However, commenting and readin LAist is one thing, actually changing yor ways is a whole other. Hopefully some people are, if nothing else, gonna give it a chance before falling bak into their car invested ways.
