Opinion: Riding a Gold Line train in the age of LA Metro anxiety
I glanced into the next car and saw two tall, young, athletic men with slick gray jackets identifying them as Metro Ambassadors. I walked back to talk with them. I did not identify myself as a reporter, so won’t quote them. Had they read Rachel’s story? They had. Did they agree with her portrait of a transit system in crisis, given the open drug use and the unsavory characters? They did. Would they themselves use Metro when off-duty? One wouldn’t; the other did, though buses seemed safer to him.
Fourteen minutes after boarding, we were in Chinatown. It was great to not have to park. Excellent sandwich. Nice double espresso at Homegirl Cafe up the street, where the reformed gang members with tattoos on their faces are positively angelic. Zero people passed out on the train home to Pasadena. As with other things in this life, if we all got together and took back the streets — or the light rail — and if our society found homes for the homeless, we would be in a better place.
