Wow, that headline really sticks out. It’s very, very hard to overlook. Is’s guaranteed to make the Guardian’s readers prick up their ears, and it shows that this paper has a firm grasp on this topic and is ahead of the competition. They’ve really shone a shaft of light on this topic and I’m glad they had the balls to go with this penetrating headline. They’ve proven once again that the pen is mightier than the sword.

God it's frustrating how slow making these rail transits has been. The D line was literally planned out back in the 1960s and it took this long? I understand the plethora of problems the engineers faced when completing this. But I find it funny that once the World Cup was planned to be in LA, that's when LA leadership expedited all the legal and corporate hurdles in order to make sure we don't have another carmagetton

I've lived in LA and I've lived in Scandinavia. And car life sucks. So good luck and Godspeed, Los Angeles.
