Marc Brown rides Metro Red Line to see conditions firsthand amid increase in violent crime

[Poly]

That lady lied through her teeth, she wouldn't get anywhere near that subway with her family. Typical.

Marc Brown reporting on the actual issues. 10/10.

Good on Marc Brown for doing some real reporting. I ride subways and buses pretty much exclusively when I travel to Europe, and it's perfectly normal. The worst thing you have to worry about is pickpockets, and that's really only in the high tourist season. Normal people ride them - kids, adults, old folks. They enforce fares and write tickets with hefty fines for gate-jumpers. Meanwhile here in LA, we've spent billions on subway lines and can't even ride them because of the bums and meth heads.

Mark did a great job reporting and exposing Metro’s negligence. This’s why we need more police even when people disagree.

It felt good to see some honest (even if censored) reporting, I appreciate you Marc Brown

[larrywilliams]

I was recently harassed and threatened by a group of young people on the red line…no security in sight. I had wait for the next stop to exit, anything could have in the interim. There were police on that platform but NOT on the train. I’ll never ride it again. Thanks for reporting Marc!

[zardozmania]

It doesn't matter what they do, once you're stuck in that car and someone acts up, you have to fend for yourself.

She lied.... I want to see her ride for at leas 3 days..

It is possible to walk between cars on the Red Line. I've seen the crazy people on it do it, although you're not supposed to as you are outside for small space between cars. The main problem is Metro does not kick the homeless off when the line reaches either North Hollywood or Downtown. They keep riding it back and forth. Isn't the train supposed to be used for public transportation and not a rolling homeless shelter? There should be at least two Metro police always stationed inside each station. One near the entrance and one on the platform. If there are transients hanging around inside, they should immediately be removed. Again, train stations are not homeless shelters.

2:53 - what a liar looks like when theyre lying, shes even shaking her head no the whole time her mouths saying yes, voice cracking to force the bs out...whats that forked tongue thing ppl used to talk about?

[taliaasims]

I just rode the train for jury duty and I haven’t ridden the train since 2010 and man it was scary. I also saw police downstairs but people were smoking in the doors of the train and they just stood there

That blonde hair woman is part of the problem in Cali. And why its getting worse.

[RandA]

That lady straight up lied, she wouldn't let her kids take one step on the Metro

[kevinliu]

Great and honest reporting for once. Thank you Marc Brown

[KaliforniaLA]

Marc is the best anchor in LA. What a great guy.

I stopped riding after a rider got stabbed a few years ago on the orange line. I felt safer on the New York City subway than I do on the Los Angeles subway.

[scotttn]

She's literally shaking her head no while saying yes 😆

[jetvac]

Thanks for doing that Mr Brown. We dont complaint about Metro being unsafe for no reason. It is unsafe, it is way too uncomfortable due to drug addicts and people with mental health problems. That woman metro rep is full of it, she would be putting her family in danger if shed take them to the Metro Blue and Red lines probably in the worst condition. Possible solution you re under influence you loose your privilige to ride you violent, same thing. Metro needs its own police. Riding and at stations.

[maryuniverse]

Marc Brown, thank you for your report. Yes all that is true, you do not feel safe riding metro. Thank you

He needs to ride it after 10pm if he really wants to see the gross crazy nastiness
