MTA forces me to use the word FUCK. Proposed cuts for June.

The MTA is filled with assholes, but I am certain the problems start from the top.

I’m on the 757 going up Western and what do I see? A pamphlet discussing cuts in service (it’s only on this one bus, because for some reason while MTA prints beautiful material it seems to have a problem with disseminating it.) I’m on a bus where everyone is standing (in the middle of the day) on a rapid and the MTA is going to cut service to downtown.

People are on the busses, so why in the hell are they cutting bus services.

I understand what you dumb fucks at the MTA are doing. You’re changing the busses to compliment the rails, but guess what you dumb fucks? You haven’t finished building the rails yet.

Why not wait until the rails have been built and UNTIL they run after 12am before you start fucking with the bus schedules?

As an example of how you did this, so that you know it can be done: There used to be a 1 bus, but then you cut it, BUT you cut the 1 line AFTER you built the red line. Who was the CEO of the MTA then, because whoever that CEO was, was a bit smarter than you Roger Snoble.

By the way Roger, which bus do you take to get to work?

I get the whole you want to get money without having to do anything, but lying is wrong. You guys seem very moralistic at the MTA with all of those damn rules you have posted everywhere.

Mtanos

You cut the service then make people transfer to two extra busses, so they have to get on the rail so your rail numbers can be inflated, but then when those same people have to come home from their working class jobs after 11pm, you have nothing for them. You have nothing, but extra busses that run once an hour (on a good night.)

What is that?

I know the MTA depends on the bloggers that discuss this issue to be yuppies who take the rails or disabled people who can’t walk and take one line into the suburbs, but I’m not a yuppie and I take all of the lines simply so I can bitch about your abysmal service.

You are my hobby MTA. You are my knitting club, drinking club, bird watching club all rolled into one incompetent ball of mess.

I take the bus in to South Central, East L.A. the valley, to the Westside and I do it all to uncover your bullshit.

I also appreciate how you guys seem to forget to tell the busriders about the proposed cuts. Bloggers, you seem to actively participate in reaching out to and you even send PR material to the bloggers that lick your behinds, BUT the people riding the bus have you informed them? Of course not, maybe you should spend more time doing your job and less time on myspace. And you folks at the MTA know exactly what I'm talking about.

Don’t worry, I’ll do it for you, you MTA bastards.

To be redundant here are the "secret" hearings about the proposed cuts for the 10, 14, 60, 68, 175 and a lot of other lines that people who aren’t fabulous take.

San Gabriel Valley Sector Feb 11. 6pm San Gabriel Valley Sector: February 11, 2008, 6 p.m., San Gabriel Valley Sector Office, 3449 Santa Anita Ave., 3rd Floor Council Chambers,

El Monte Gateway Cities Sector: February 12, 2008, 6 p.m., Girls Club House Recreation Center, 4940 Southern Ave. (S. Gate Park), South Gate

Gateway Cities Sector: February 14, 2008, 4 p.m., The Gas Company, 9240 Firestone Blvd., Downey

Persons unable to attend the hearings may submit written testimony postmarked through February 14, 2008, the close of public record. All written testimony should be addressed to Metro Customer Relations, One Gateway Plaza, 99PL4, Los Angeles, Ca 90012-2932, Attn: June 2008 Service Changes. In addition, comments can be e-mailed with the subject line “June 2008 Service Changes” to customerrelations@metro.net or faxed to (213) 922-6988.

You’re not so slick you bastards and this isn’t Paris or Madrid or some other country where people give a damn. Stop cutting the bus service you damn
”not in LA reality bastards” at the MTA.

Maybe you should stop sending your employees on fact finding missions to other countries and start sending them to Watts at midnight and give them the assignment of pretending to get to their security job on the Westside. That might be a better use of OUR resources and you could stop begging the gov’t for money. You damn welfare cheats.

Again Roger Snoble, which bus do you take?
