Metro Motion - Spring 2011
In the spring 2011 edition of Metro Motion, Metro says bye-bye to the last diesel bus in its directly operated fleet; Metrolink CEO John Fenton takes us on a tour of the new collapsible train safety car that just may save lives; we ride with an "extreme" bicyclist who thinks nothing of a 10-mile cruise to Metro and we explore the formerly funky NoHo neighborhood of North Hollywood and see it all grown up and sophisticated and conveniently reached by Metro.
In the winter 2010-11 edition of Metro Motion we tag along on a trip down the Metro Red Line with actor and regular Metro rider Vincent Kartheiser of TV's "Mad Men." Kartheiser abandoned his car for public transit to help make Los Angeles -- and the world -- a better place. He says the switch has improved his life, as well as his commute.
In the Fall 2010 edition, Metro Motion examines the difference 10 years has made for development along the Red Line in Hollywood, suggesting what awaits L.A. County should Congress pass the 30/10 plan; another piece visits Metro's Central Maintenance Shops -- the so-called E.R. for buses; another takes in cool, creative Los Feliz for new food and old Hollywood history and finally, L.A. County Supervisor and Metro Board Chair Don Knabe tells us how to explore his 4th district the green way, via Metro.
In the Summer 2010 edition, Metro Motion reveals: Metro Rail celebrates a big one (20 years!) through old footage and new; the first Measure R rail project kicks off early; a touching tribute to early settlers; an interview with the dad of the Dodger Stadium Express, L.A. County Supervisor Michael Antonovich and pretty pics of L.A. via the Metro Gold, Blue and Silver Lines.
In the Spring 2010 edition, Metro Motion reveals: How smart roads help us tame traffic; transit magicians who keep the trains and buses moving; bargain dining along the Metro Gold Line; beautiful old photos that are windows into L.A. history, plus lunching and talking with L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky at a famed (and delicious) deli near the Metro Red Line.
Six miles of parties on the Eastside as the new Gold Line extension opens to the public; a cultural look at the Eastside; a tour of the Little Tokyo/Arts District and a talk with Metro Board and Lakewood City Council member Diane DuBois on intelligent transportation.
