The Bus Bench’s roots are in Social Ecology.
The Bus Bench takes a satirical and editorial approach to dealing with the issue of mobility in Los Angeles. The emphasis of The Bus Bench is public transportation, but we also discuss the environment, class, race, gender and Los Angeles.
In commenting on The Bus Bench we do not mind if your opinion differs than that of an opinion of a writer on a particular post. We welcome discourse. We only ask that you be respectful. Do not be violent with your words.

Hi Bus Bench, I'd like to comment on your map but do I have to email you to do so? A suggestion: google maps can be opened up to comment by anyone, which I would expect would increase the number of bus stops mapped significantly, like when people are linked to your mapped not through your website, say by a friend, or some other blog. Anyhow, let me know, ramon.lacbc@gmail.com

Open up the map for collaboration. That's web 2.0.
That's how some maps that ask users to rate cell phone service in their area operate.

The Source is Metro's attempt to negate the truth.
I don't want that happening on this map. If you want to contribute email me and you can be a collaborator, not hard. This is about helping people not getting the biggest page views.
Metro will send employees to make a bunch of happy bullshit lies in regards to bus stops and rail stations, so can't just open it up, sorry.
Metro will frame it's drivers, so they are really into lying to make what they do seem ok, they are not ok and they lie, so in order to keep this map true to life I'm filtering all collaborators.
