What vested interests do they speak of? Apparently the MTA board is full of idiots...extending the Redline to Santa Monica should have been phase one.

OMG this would be fucking brillint if the subway extended through bev. hills to santa monica. I cant even imagine what a better city LA would be. plus, wilshire would get revitalized! That area is so dense as it it. just nothing to do! What about a subway link under sunset or santa monica blvd? what about a north south line under la brea to the valley? what about to fairfax/thegrove/3rd st? to UCLA? too much wishful thinking. when will LA be run by peole who can get things done? Bravo City Councilmember Tom LaBonge, County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, and the city of Beverly Hills.

boneheaded move does the city want people to use the subway or does the MTA make more by wasting time with new "express bus lanes" which hurt traffic and pisses off people (Chandler Rd in the valley for example) besides, one would think this would drive the city's poor underground and would be a blessing
