Interesting how they used that pic from the 2021 LA Times article about me to depict rise of crime on transit… 🤔 In that pic, I was talking to a rider who had trouble navigating the LA Metro system!

If we applied international practices to the San Bernardino Line, one could easily live in San Bernardino and commute to Los Angeles in under 45 minutes (and vice versa). We really don't grasp how transformative frequent high-speed rail would be in this country.🚆🌴

Very disappointed. Seems like the conservative majority on the Culver City City Council doesn’t care about safer streets for active transit users 😡🤦🏻♂️
Mayor
@AlbertVeraJr
and his 2 colleagues just voted to ELIMINATE THE PROTECTED BIKE LANE to add more car lanes despite electeds across the state, 32 organizations, 20 Culver City students, the threat of a CEQA lawsuit, and an avalanche of public comments urging him to lead.

I regret showing off my new TAP Flex wrist band on the NUMTOT Facebook group. Some people told me to just use my wallet or phone to pay. Others commented that the TAP Flex is “nice for disabilities.” Just leave me be. Why can’t they just let me be happy with this. 🙄

The paved LA River ain’t pretty, but it is effective at pushing 5-10 inches of rain in 48 hours out to the ocean.

I started 2023 with a job rejection, my grandma’s death, and my mom’s major stroke. The compounding stress and emotions took a toll on my mental health. My loved ones recommended that I seek therapy. It’s been a month since I began therapy and it’s been very helpful.🥺🙏🏽
Rejections will make you stronger. Face it head on and continue onward with hope and confidence 🙂

She also said that “poor people will only use this service.” After I told her that I rely on public transit to get to CSUN, she told to me to “get a car and that I’m a joke.” Definitely going to write an e-mail to Metro about this experience. 😡
