Hopefully they are still there, hopefully<br />Metro sees that this is a slight incentive for people to ride. I do hope that the old sharyo cars keep being used in the system, hopefully they repainted silver like one car was at one point. It really helps them look more modern. As for visibility, they can add a a yellow reflective decal to the front like they have planned for the new kikisharyo vehicles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-41669782884047384222011-10-17T08:32:10.699-07:002011-10-17T08:32:10.699-07:00Thank you Militant!

The new trains will help expand the system. The Expo line and the Foothill gold line extension will need more trains. The current Blue Line trains will probably be used another 10 or 20 years before being replaced.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10347867836045599809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-71505062790013698712011-10-14T10:45:36.488-07:002011-10-14T10:45:36.488-07:00it's posts like this and the ciclavia guide th...it's posts like this and the ciclavia guide that make me wonder why this blog isn't called "helpfulangeleno."humanhttp://lamtadiary.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-77472858627164096912011-10-14T05:34:02.147-07:002011-10-14T05:34:02.147-07:00It surely looks like the ordinary travelers have f...It surely looks like the ordinary travelers have found answers for their most common need like getting their gadgets charged.Ergonomic Chairhttp://www.ergonomicchair.org/news/74/5-Everyday-Items-That-Still-Aren%27t-Ergonomic.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045235436087182302.post-77805369085020128482011-10-14T03:54:58.676-07:002011-10-14T03:54:58.676-07:00Those trains are going to be replaced very soon. ...Those trains are going to be replaced very soon.
