The Los Angeles mayor said she and her Metro board members are working on a plan to increase police patrol and visibility on buses and trains.
In a significant shift, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass publicly acknowledged Wednesday that she did not think the city’s Metro system is safe.
Just last month, she touted LA’s public transit system declaring “the metro is safe” while celebrating an increase in ridership.When asked Wednesday whether she still thought riding Metro was safe, she responded she did “not feel the same way.” Her admission came amid escalating fears among commuters following a string of violent incidents, including three within 48 hours.Some Metro passengers said their anxiety reached a boiling point after the recent attacks, including a woman being stabbed inside a Metro elevator in South LA. The ongoing violence intensified calls for immediate intervention from passengers.
