If there is a change in the pattern of the ever-shifting battery of dead MTA escalators, rest assured I will sue and then use the money to make the shiftless MTA get its arse in gear lest I use the money to hire more aggressive attorneys!
But back to the inevitable slogging of three stairways per station unless one happens to work where the MetroLink commuters catch their train (i.e., Union Station).
Thursday found three stations along the former Red Line with dead escalators. Unfortunately, as I were prepping the camera to record the lifeless "lift" at Wilshire-Vermont, the station custodian came along and pressed a little button beneath the rubber handrail and—whammo!—she and her three-wheeled garbage can were taken to the street. Is it that damn simple? And if so, what penalties await one who attempts to be a present-day Harry Tuttle? Perhaps Pam, Roger and all that crew should stop wasting money on all that tree-eating propaganda spewing the $1-off deals at Wicked and sports crap, and get the buses to run on time and the escalators to simply work, hm?
As such, I have but two dead escalators to report, and owing to my hectic schedule, I was unable to examine the 7th/Fig and Pershing Square stations. No need to waste my time at Civic and Union; owing to the commuters what use it, there is rarely anything wrong at those two stations.
