In their desire to be as close as possible to Mayor Tony, the accredited press people crammed into the tight space of the unspectacular AnsaldoBreda car. However, the real fun was in the front of the car. Here are two more video clips from the morning press junket along the Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension.

Hey, my name’s aka Mika Muyo and I’ve been sitting on the bus bench since 4th grade. I’ve taken all sorts of public trans that varied on the scale of “not bad” to “you have to be kidding me, this is bullshit!”. At any rate, I currently live and cycle in LA and you can find me at various bike mobs, art shows, open bars and on Candied Cartel dot com.

Roger wasn't just the CEO for Metro for us, but a wealth of material for political based art. We will be sad to see him go.

I find it terribly interesting that the trains are operating at a crawl next to the school, and not the 35 mph they'll be running.
Unfortunately the section over the I-101 will be limited to 10-15 mph. Not exactly "RAPID" transit.
