People in LA don’t want a free system.

-snort-

They must not be human. /s

Unfortunately we have a lot of problems that free covid fares exacerbated.

Commuting issues have been a problem in LA for decades before Covid existed. The Metrolink/subway system has existed since before Covid.

  I don’t know what any of these responses is supposed to mean.
  
  Since they ended the Covid free fare policy, the metro has been much much nicer and ridership has gone up as a result.

    Could you elaborate on what the Covid-era problems were?

      Metro was plagued with safety issues, open drug use and overdoses and deaths, and cars becoming permanent homeless housing.
      
      I live in LA car free, and ridership has been rising a lot lately.
