Nothing to see here: MetroLAalerts

So Metro you expect us all to actually believe that your trains and busses have been running perfectly for over seven days straight? If your service is so great why do less than 2% of your employees use your service? So how did this miracle happen?

I think I know how the miracle occurred, because your twitter alert is a lie.

The definition of lie:

1.	a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.

2.	something intended or serving to convey a false impression; imposture: His flashy car was a lie that deceived no one.

3.	an inaccurate or false statement.

I know you guys think it's pr or spin, but in real life it's just called lies.

Now owing to the fact that it's out there that you guys lie, how about we do a start over, do over or restart with this alerts thing. Let's go over the definition of alert:

1.	an attitude of vigilance, readiness, or caution, as before an expected attack.

2.	a warning or alarm of an impending military attack, a storm, etc.: We'd just boarded the bus when the alert sounded.

3.	the period during which such a warning or alarm is in effect.

That's a pretty strong definition, but I'm not expecting even that.  Right now your alerts are actually the antonym of the meaning of alert. The antonym of alert is unaware and that's what your twitter alert account is. It's an alert to how unaware and out of touch the people at One Gateway are.

Now in order to continue to lie on the big stuff, you're going to have to at least make your lies on the little stuff convincing. Hey make up a bus being late. Your busses are always late, post at least three times a day that things are "normal" or do something mind blowing and ride one of your rails in the morning and if something happens (which it will) slap that up on twitter.

Eight days with nothing happening?!! Metro Los Angeles running perfectly, really? Come now you know that can't be true. If your system is that awesome, why don't you take it?

I think you're failing to understand the meaning of the phrase "in beta".

Twitter is BETA!!? Look just because you don't know how to ride a bicycle, doesn't mean that a bicycle is "beta" technology. How hard is it to you use twitter, you just type when something isn't working. What's the problem? How hard is that. And it seems that Metro is listening, since they posted my "suggestion" of throwing the Green Line delay up there...I don't understand beta? Me, no dude, you don't understand beta.
