Marina del Rey by Bike

If car culture is unsubsidized then why does Metro spend $27 million a year giving 300,000 broke down drivers a free tow?
In the North East, passenger rail proves competitive against airlines.
Marina del Rey Visitors Bureau promotes the Marina as “one of the few places in Los Angeles where you won’t need a car to enjoy an array of exciting activities that are all accessible on foot, by bike, public transportation or boat.” Nice!
$43 million in bond money to Union Pacific? Only if they allow more passenger service, the Sacramento Bee opines.
A 60% increase in motor vehicle traffic in the next 20 years will negate any gains from “greener” cars.

That’s great about Marina Del Rey.

Too bad the MTA wants to cut the 108 bus service that will get you there. Another incidence of offering crappy, unreliable and rare, service and then eliminating it because there is no demand.

The Marina and Playa del Reys would probably get a better deal out of joining with the Culver City Bus system than the MTA.
