TRANSIT GRIPE SESSION

Most of the time, the car-free commutes of Angelenos are without serious issues. We (safely) reply to emails, read, enjoy a cinematic view of the city, and spare not a thought for parking or measuring how long our commutes took. In the spirit of honesty, we also endeavor not to sugarcoat the experience—which we constantly advocate for improving.  In this transit therapy session, Kyle, Ivy, and Eric gather at the Koreatown Media Lab for a lighthearted, fun "gripe session" based on some recent, extraordinary hiccups in our car-free and car-lite lives. Improving mass and active transit means being honest, rolling with the punches, and occasionally letting off steam. Tune in as we air out our recent transit grievances, laugh at bumps in the road, and discuss what it really takes to make getting around Los Angeles better for everyone.
