[TRE Cup]

Traffic has been super light on the freeways. Actual messy area is the 5 and the 170 junction , where they are doing major construction- new ramps.
Speeder is spot on with the bus service. Here in the valley, they haul butt even in commute times. One am, i was squirting in/out of traffic and was amazed to see the red bus either keeping pace, or getting ahead sweeping the gutter lane !

The subway service has proved good for our business, as lots of professionals that work downtown leave the car with us, then we drop them off at Metro.
I've enjoyed the no hassle dealing with cars going to Hollywood or downtown for entertainment, while leaving the car in the Metro lot.
I am happy they have the system and expanding it. Is it over budget in construction/ upkeep ?- probably (have you seen Metro's billion dollar office bldg downtown yikes!) - then again what usa cities have public transpo that came in at budget?
Is it safe going underground in earthquake fault zones? Not likely, and above ground was a non starter with locals and officials (there were right of way / center of the freeway proposals in the 60's, but it got torpedoed. Heck the freeway was already ugly, what was a train going down the middle do with esthetics? )
