Bus Riders Union + Neighborhood Councils = ????

The Bus Riders Union is trying to form an alliance with Neighborhood Councils in an effort to influence the MTA.

I know. That's about as much enthusiasm as I could work up over this, too. But insofar as we try to generate the historical record of L.A. politics here, it seemed worth mentioning.

Plus, you can sing "Magic Bus" in your head. Great song. Almost makes you wish you experimented with LSD.

I suppose this is good news for all the NC supporters here, as it demonstrates that folks are recognizing their political power.

The consent decree should expire. It has already served its purpose and doesn't need to extended. The BRU's cry of "transit racism" doesn't match up with the reality of today's MTA.

When the BRU protested the Orange Line, a busway, they lost all credibility in my book.
