Show Notes

Los Angeles has a metropolitan transit system—the L.A. Metro for short—but few people want to ride it because it’s dirty and unsafe, and doesn’t go where they want to go. Taxpayer advocates balk at the billions of tax dollars spent on dubious Metro expansions. Los Angeles is one of the greatest cities in the world. Does its Metro system have to be this bad?

The answer is “No!” We learn why in this episode of Independent Conversations as we talk with Mr. Baruch Feigenbaum, an expert in urban transportation policy and author of Independent Institute’s California Golden Fleece Award and Report on the L.A. Metro.
