got into an argument with an @Amtrak employee about putting a folding @bromptonusa bike on a train. she insisted it goes in bike car, not on rack. her contention: can you stack luggage on top of it? me: i don't see a problem here.

went to check on my @bromptonusa bike during the @Amtrak journey. conductor noticed me looking at it and said it belongs in bike area. i said it doesn't hang, it goes on the rack. she said there's a rack there. like this? good thing i have a cable to attach it to the "rack"!

i'm on @Amtrak #coaststarlight. departed LA @unionstationla six hours ago and not even halfway to my final destination, san francisco (there'll be a train transfer or two to get to SF). at this rate, i'll be ecstatic if i get there TODAY.

another day, another metro issue. thursday was disabled train at bergamot, no instructions about a switched track. friday was no-show bus. also wrong info at western station, announcing union station train as bound for la cienega. saturday is singletrack delay in highland park 😡

the metro 105 is AWOL and it started raining, despite the weather app saying it wouldn't rain until tonight 😡 so how's YOUR day going so far?

i hate metro. disabled train on platform. garbled announcement. operator said next train will arrive on same platform as soon as she leaves. we wait. next train arrives on other side. doesn't wait and leaves. WTF

@metrolaalerts 20 minute wait at union station for an A line operator changeover is unacceptable!

as i board the already-overdue metro 4 by the samo promenade, the guy behind me asks if it's the express bus. i say it's the local. he says if it's red, it's the express? i say no, it just means it's a bigger bus. so how long to echo park? i say forever. cont...

is there a subway? he asks. there's the E light rail down the street which gets you to DTLA, then you transfer to the B subway, but doesn't get you to echo park. plus it's in maintenance mode today and barely running. you'll need to catch a bus. cont...

for those of us who've been on any of the @CulverCityBus buses (my go-to for getting to LAX!), we are heartbroken about the bus driver who was senselessly shot and killed by a passenger. the CC bus family is taking time off to grieve; please see the advisory on the transit app:

whose smart idea was it to have the @metrolosangeles A line be the "longest light rail line" wherever, just to have it turn back halfway at union station, requiring a train change, then hold for an operator change? i left pasadena 40min ago and just left union station. ARGGHH!!

did the sound crew at @iHeartRadio @iHeartFestival not know what to do when there was more than one singer on stage? the vocals of the 7 members during @bts_bighit performance were uneven, with jimin at one point barely audible. is that any way to present the headliners??

BTS's set was shockingly short at @iHeartFestival 😕 how does a headliner get to perform only FOUR songs while everyone else did twice as many?? please don't tell me that they ran out of time!! #iheartradiofestival2026 @bts_bighit

@limebike if we get the serial numbers of these scooters blocking walkways, can you look up their riders and fine them for obstructing access?

BTS @bts_bighit will be in concert NEXT WEEK for FOUR SOLD OUT NITES, yet not a peep from @MayorOfLA nor @MayorButts welcoming them, @metrolosangeles re transit options, nor @weverseofficial about city pop-ups. are any of them paying attention?? instagram.com/reel/DceUYLTCW…
