L.A. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION? THANKS, I'LL DRIVE

Los Angeles' MTA is in debt by billions of dollars. This is thanks to the Mass Transit Authority's attempts to give LA a subway system. Now if you ask me, a subway system in LA is completely idiotic (would you want to be on a subway train when an earthquake struck?) and what LA really needs is an above ground 'light rail' train system. But it's all too late for that - billions of dollars have been squandered thanks to mismanagement and corruption. Sinkholes have been all too common over the past few years in this town. I think it was last year when an entire square block of Hollywood Boulevard fell away harming no one physically, but destroying the business of the retailers on that block. Also, more than a few workers have died while working on the Metrorail system. Meanwhile, the slow and meandering bus system, which handles 90% of the MTA's customers, is woefully underfunded. Dig that crazy irony.
