Pardon my cynicism but LADOT is the organization that runs buses without keeping the drivers informed that their routes have been closed due to parades. Raise your hand if you've ever been on a bus where the direction chosen was selected through passenger vote? Anyone? Anyone?

Okay, just me. Twice. The first time a charter Amtrak driver who got lost in Vancouver after our train got blocked by BNSF. The second an LADOT driver on his regular route who discovered that oh holy shit Sunset is closed on Halloween, same as it is every year, for a parade.

So I'll read this, but at the same time, LA is a city where failed urban planning dreams get their own museum exhibit.
