In general yes, but in this case the trains are not being used:
> Even as its budget has expanded, the number of people actually using public transport in la has collapsed. Total ridership is down almost a quarter since 2013. Three in four Angelenos travel to work on their own in a car, the highest figure ever.
- downerending 7y agoRecently stayed in a hotel in LA that had a direct view onto a light rail station. (Cool!) I glanced out the window from time to time over several days and never saw a single train. That suggests that they're not running often enough to be useful to real people. Train, bus, whatever--if I have to wait longer than eight minutes on average, it's useless. (And don't even get me started on the geniuses that decided that light rail shouldn't have an LAX terminal.)
