So what else is new? I've yet to see a single newspaper article that did "get the facts right" regarding mass transit (okay, there's been a few, but far too many articles are so vague or inaccurate that there's no point in reading them). Most of the folks who work for the L.A. Times (at least the reporters and editorial staff) probably don't (and never will) use public transit anyway (just like far too many other SoCal residents), and I doubt they've got reporters who specialize in this area (or are at least willing to do some research before writing their articles). I'd love to see idiots like these try working for the transit departments of their cities for a while; they'll soon realize that what "makes sense" in theory isn't always easy to turn into reality (and why).
