Los Angeles Metro’s transit system keeps failing hardworking taxpayers. Despite spending billions, trains run slower than traffic, and delays pile up because of old wires that can’t handle basic heat. Riders wait longer while Sacramento Democrats ignore the $2.3 billion budget hole, proving they care more about green fantasies than fixing real problems.
The Metro committee just approved a $9.4 billion budget while staring down a massive deficit. Instead of cutting waste, they’re begging California’s liberal leaders for bailouts. Gov. Newsom said no to $2 billion in extra funding, leaving everyday commuters stuck with broken service and unreliable buses.
Even their “fixes” are broken. The A Line’s outdated wires sag in hot weather, forcing seniors and disabled riders to wait on crowded platforms. Delays jump 30% during heatwaves, but Metro’s answer is slower trains and bus bridges. Taxpayers fund this incompetence while elites lecture us about “climate resilience.”
The LAX rail project promises a 2026 opening after years of delays. They’ve already burned through millions, and the “solution” still won’t connect directly to terminals. Tourists and workers will drag luggage onto a people mover instead of getting a real fix. This is what happens when bureaucracy replaces common sense.
LA’s transit system was designed for a 1920s city, but leaders keep doubling down on failure. Rail lines all dump riders downtown, ignoring how spread-out neighborhoods actually live. Commuters waste hours transferring between lines while Metro board members pat themselves on the back for empty “equity” slogans.
Liberal policies created this mess. They prioritized woke climate projects over practical upgrades, leaving critical systems crumbling. Now they want more taxes to fund their train fantasies instead of fixing what exists. Real Americans just want to get to work on time – not bankroll Sacramento’s pipe dreams.
The former Metro innovation chief had ideas, but bureaucrats blocked change. Common-sense solutions like better local bus connections get buried under environmental reviews and union demands. Meanwhile, drivers pay skyrocketing gas taxes to sit in traffic caused by Metro’s endless construction zones.
It’s time for accountability. Defund bloated transit agencies that can’t deliver basics. Let communities build efficient solutions instead of one-size-fits-all rail boondoggles. Until liberals stop wasting dollars on virtue signaling, LA’s traffic nightmare will keep getting worse.
