ChineseL.A. Sniper, get out of my head
[tags]los angeles, la city beat, public transit[/tags]
Once again, L.A. City Beat’s Alan Mittelstaedt — the L.A. Sniper — brings up the curve for all of Southern California’s media when it comes to transportation reporting. This week, he echoes the sentiment expressed in this page that it’s the pols’ positions on transit, not their riding habits, that really matter. In the first item, he finds councilman Greig Smith is a Metrolink rider, wonders why councilman Tony Cardenas didn’t respond to the survey, and runs down the list of meetings to get billions invested in a subway to the sea (or other projects on the Westside).
In the last item, he doesn’t care much for AT&T’s ad blitz on the Metro Gold Line.

I don’t mind the ads intruding the public space for revenue dollars, but I do agree that MTA should negotiate a more tasteful presentation that better fits into the sleek design of the trains/stations. Probably easier said than done though.
