Adrian Moore on L.A. Metro's Misguided Defense of Light Rail
Recently, Reason.tv released the video "17 Miles
in Just 78 Minutes! Light Rail vs. Reality in LA," in which
comedian Watt Smith took Los Angeles’ light-rail system from Los
Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Burbank. Smith interviewed
passengers, whose observations and opinions were supplemented by
“pop-up” speech balloons introducing facts about the true costs of
operating the light-rail system. Steve Hymon at Metro, the
city’s mass transit system, has taken exception to the video and
posted a lengthy critique of the video titled “Reason Foundation
thumbs its nose at Metro; we thumb back!” Adrian Moore of the
Reason Foundation is happy to engage MTA’s
arguments.
