It’s been quite a while since we last caught up with the Los Angeles Metro Mole and his intrepid quest to expose the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the wasteful, inefficient, mess that it is.  Suffice it to say, the Mole is no Metro fanboi.  Our furry friend returned at the end of March with a brand new scathing review of Metro’s operations coupled with reports from the road and flights of fancy.

Here’s a sampling of what you’ll find in the complete posting:

• The Culver City Bus pwns Metro with new technology that makes it clear who’s driving.
• Signage at the LAX Bus Center improves from 0% correct to 33% correct.
• At long last, the Mole find his next transit Dulcinea, in the form of an Australian tourist hoping to find a bus to Venice Beach.
• A 780 bus driver, when faced with the Mole’s truth serum, reveals that the Automatic Stop Announcements are never updated.

One of our readers from out-of-town emailed us with a question, and I’m putting it to you guys to help her out. Here it is:

Hi, I’m going to LA and I was wondering if you knew if there were lockers available at Union Station, as I plan to use the FlyAway bus to LAX after exploring the city for a bit. If you do, do you know if they’d be big enough for a suitcase of moderate size? Thanks!

I don’t know the answer to this off the top of my head. My gut tells me that there’s no lockers at Union Station… someone prove me wrong. If I’m right, can anyone suggest any creative ways for a visitor to safely store suitcases at/near Union Station? L.A. needs to be friendly to our 25.4 million yearly visitors.  Thanks!
