I applaud the mayor’s proposal to offer a week of free public transit for Angelenos: it’s a good experiment to undertake, I think.
The only problem I foresee is that it might not actually go far enough. They might have to up the ante and try *paying* people not to use their cars in this sprawled-out city of ours, and even then it’s iffy. Public transport is pretty difficult to use in Los Angeles because there aren’t very many lines to take to get around, and when almost nothing is within easy walking distance of these sparsely-distributed metro stations. Then there’s the itty-bitty problem of getting suburbanites into the city via public transit – how??
