If You Don't Like LA Public Transit, Speak Up!

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

We love when our readers comment on our posts. Traffic and public transportation seem to light a fire within all of us. We are pretty sure LADOT and Metro are not scouring the LAist archives for your input. In addition to all your comments about the subject (we love them, we really do), we recommend showing up to a public meeting for input:

Metro’s five community-based transit service sector governance councils will hold their regular monthly public meetings in January to discuss various transportation issues in their service sectors.
Residents within the San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley, Gateway Cities of southeast Los Angeles, the South Bay and the Westside/Central area interested in helping to improve Metro Bus service in their communities are encouraged to attend the monthly meetings. Governance councils work closely with Metro’s community-based service sectors in studying and planning service improvements and efficiencies of Metro Bus operations in their respective service sectors.

Come on, you know you wanna. The list of meetings are after the jump...

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
