But I'm Sure They'll Do Much Better On The "Subway To The Sea"

What cost $240 million over budget, is months overdue, and miles shorter than promised?

Answer:  the Expo Line, which was supposed to whisk people between Downtown L.A. and Culver City -- two places between which no one wants to be whisked in the first place.

Now the plan is to whisk you only part of the way. Would you mind walking from Crenshaw or La Cienega to Culver City, please?

Read all about it in the Los Angeles Times article, "More delays plague Expo Line."

Then, the next time someone tells you how we must proceed to the "Subway to the Sea," quiz him on the Expo line and on the EIR for the "Subway to the Sea." Expect a blank expression.
