@Metrolosangeles Twitter Tuesday, Jan. 29 edition (part two)

  1. #MetroWin
  2. @metrolosangeles Happy Birthday Red Line! I'm glad we have such a good relationship.
  3. Good reason to Go @MetroLosAngeles! MT @KPCC Congrats, LA: You have the highest gas prices in the lower 48 states. kp.cc/Wvk74J
  4. And prices for regular are creeping back toward $4 for a gallon of regular in my neck of the woods. 
  5. @metrolosangeles you know what i love?! nice bus drivers. #754 bus #8485 time 7:58
  6. #MetroFail
  7. We load up a packed train, the driver moves to the other end of the car and THEN tells us the other train will leave first. @metrolosangeles
  8. @metrolosangeles. Why does a 30 minute ride on the expo line never take 30 minutes? Stuck at 23rd st going to miss my Metrolink train!!!!
  9. Fair enough point. Trains do frequently stop for red lights at that intersection. The city of Los Angeles, which controls traffic signals there, and Metro are working toward smoothing out the ride on the Expo Line. 
  10. @ExpressLanes Has it occurred to any one at @metrolosangeles that it's impossible to load 1 Silver Line fare ($2.45) onto a TAP card @ TVMs?
  11. I'll pass this suggestion along to the TAP staff. 
  12. @metrolosangeles #TapToGo horrible website! Unable to access my TAP card online. This has left me stranded without bus-fare. #FAIL
  13. Long-standing issue with our riders and TAP customers. Wish I could tell you that the taptogo.net website will be fixed soon, but it's going to take a while longer as this is work that must be performed by a Metro contractor. 
  14. So instead of doing something that actually fixes your multiple problems @metrolosangeles you are renaming stations? #fail #typical
  15. release: @metrolosangeles renames Red Line Civic Center Station into the un-tweetably long "Civic Center/Grand Park/Tom Bradley Station."
  16. @ieko1224 @metrolosangeles Makes me glad that on-board announcements usually stick to the part before the slash & leave out the rest.
  17. The new names all retain the original station names -- and Metro will do its best to use the geographical names when communicating with customers, especially in media in which space is constrained, such as Twitter. 
  18. @metrolosangeles #BlueLine service is awful tonight. Why no bus bridges and announcements on web & alerts. #unacceptable
  19. #MetroMusings
  20. @ZachBehrens @metrolosangeles @hollywoodbowl he talks about this all the time when the leimert park question comes up.
  21. There were a variety of reasons that the station was not built: lack of funds, a change in the alignment, low ridership on non-concert days, worries about construction disruption to the Bowl and nearby areas. Here's a good post from the Metro Library's Primary Resources blog: http://metroprimaryresources.info/future-stations-of-the-past-whatever-happened-to-early-plans-for-a-metro-rail-stop-at-the-hollywood-bowl/1697/
  22. I commend the millennial who is trying to reason with the obstinate bus passenger who tried to evade payment. @metrolosangeles
  23. Gotta love the young 'uns. 
  24. Take @metrolosangeles to Saturday matinees & save $2 off tickets! Plan your trip at metro.net. Details at metro.net/discounts.
