Let's see how long it takes before hooligans scratch graffiti into the windows and steel panels of the new trains, all while the new Metro police and staff do nothing to prevent it.
You should help metro community and tell them to bring back 762 on Atlantic so they could get rid of 261 Because last year 2019 there was no issues with the trains or bus
@@CraigFThompson They've already been ordered. They didn't extend the order with the Chinese because of constant problems with delivery of the 64 H4000 cars by CRRC.
@mrxman581 And now the LACMTA will end up with inferior subway equipment; that company has done such a poor job with the Metrolink cars it's frightful!
Does anyone know if these new Metro HR4000 subway (manufactured by China Railway Rolling Stock Corp. (CRRC) have any common spare parts with any of the existing trains on Metro? This historically has been one of Metro's problems. They deploy different rolling stock that does not share common spare parts and maintenance, so the system is left with multiple contracts. This complexity increases costs. I'm curious if the new trains share common parts and if so, with which trains and on which lines? As an aside, look at the scores of Metro employees standing around, doing nothing except having fun and playing around on their cell phones. Why are we paying so many Metro staff to do nothing?
@@mrxman581 I'm complaining because of the incredibly high taxes we pay in Southern California, many of which are used to subsidize Metro's bloated costs. The reason that Metro is "affordable" is because it's subsidized by taxpayers. It would never even come close to staying in business if it was required to survive on it's own revenue. Metro has to virtually give away the product to get people to ride its filthy, crime ridden system full of the homeless and crazy people. I tried using if for 2 years and had to give up for my safety (I was assaulted on Metro twice), sanity and because I was always late to work. Metro's CEO Stephanie Wiggins and their other leadership don't even ride the system that they run on a daily basis. Ask them directly. (And I'm not referring to the photo ops of them riding) We've given Metro tons of tax money and they want more (they are "studying" things like congestion taxes for cars and delivery vehicles like New York. Metro also wants to institute a per mile "tax" for all drivers. They have 40+ years of revenue certainty through 6 different additive taxes which contribute to California's non-competitive business climate and high costs. Take a look how many of the large businesses have left the states and how many people (the ones that pay the vast majority of taxes) have moved out. Now many of the cities in L.A. country will have a 2025 sales tax of 10.25% and Metro still wants more and more and more money. You've read my other comments on how Metro should be held accountable for running an efficient, clean, safe system. Just like most people in the real working world. Metro has failed on so many levels, yet no one ever gets fired for the terrible outcomes. Why don't you ever want to hold them accountable? Are you an employee of Metro or an associated agency or subcontractor? Why else would you not be frustrated with the terrible product and bloated costs of Los Angeles Metro?
@hockeyplayer28 Yes, LA Metro is not perfect, but you are holding them to an unreasonable standard as well. You want LA Metro to be perfect. No person or entity, whether public or private, is perfect. How long have you lived in LA? If you were a native Angeleno, you would realize that public transit is much better by far than it was before we had the LA Metro rail infrastructure. It has not only made tranaversing LA County much easier, but it has contributed to better air quality. As kids, we used to have Smog Alerts, where we weren't allowed to play outside. If you did, after a couple of hours, it would actually start to hurt to breathe, and your eyes would start to sting. Back then, there was no electric LA Metro rail infrastructure and much more vehicle exhaust pollution. We don't have that anymore because of cleaner cars, trucks, and electric public transit infrastructure. The voters approved the sale tax increases over the years. In return, we've gotten the fastest growing public Metro rail expansion in the USA over the last 34 years and counting. The increased taxes go not only to subsidize the fare system but to physically expand it. LA Metro is fulfilling their promise. Yes, sometimes it takes longer or costs more, but it's getting done. In the end, that's what's most important. This is infrastructure that will last 100+ years. It's not just for the current residents who voted for it, but for residents not yet born or have moved to LA. Again, I'm holding LA Metro to a reasonable standard, as do the vast majority of Angelenos, which is why LA voters have approved the tax increases over many years. The implication being that they are satisfied with what LA Metro has accomplished. If not, they wouldn't have passed the last sales tax increase. BTW, LA Metro just introduced the first of a new fleet of trains for the D subway line. Check out the YT videos that were posted over the last two days By comparison, LA Metro is doing much better than NYC metro in managing their transit system. NYC has the largest metro network in the USA and in all of the Western hemispheres, but it's in trouble due to long-term maintenance neglect. They are not only doing congestion pricing, but they also announced a fare increase. It will soon be $3.00 per one-way ride. LA Metro costs $1.75 by comparison. With many discounted or free fares for senior citizens, students, and low income riders Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
@hockeyplayer28 Oh, I started riding LA Metro again as of June 2023 after the Regional Connector opened. I've never experienced the negative things you have experienced. I didn't use the LA Metro from 2020 through June 2023 because of Covid. I heard the homeless issue got much worse, especially since LA Metro had a Covid policy of not enforcing fares. In retrospect, I'm sure they regret it now. However, I can't blame them thinking it was the right thing to do during a worldwide pandemic that killed millions. At least since I started using LA Metro again, it has only continued to improve over the last 1.5 years. I use the LA Metro around 1-2 a week. Actually, I'm rediscovering the city I was born in through the LA Metro. Just like many of us, I spent way too much time in my car stuck bin traffic. Navigating my city via LA Metro could be trying at times, but also extremely rewarding and eye-opening in the best way. I now feel more connected to my city than ever before.
I really like the way the horn and the chimes sound. The announcements sound very clear even over the video.
Finally the metro subways have 21st century tech 😂
It’s here!!
@@ciello___8307 finally first New York City and Now Los Angeles
NYCT had R142/A's and R143 New Technology Trains before the 21st century (1999).
"21st century tech" using 18th century passenger accommodations....
STANDING ROOM ONLY!
I never knew this day would come. Surprisingly the new HR4000s have the old announcements, nostalgia vibes.
Pretty much the announcements from 2021 or 2022 have been kept on the CRRC HR4000 trains, I love this video, incredibly awesome.👏🎉
I’m glad you liked it! It’s nice to see the new trains keeping some traditions.
@TigerRailfan download moovit and you will see that some stations are right and some are wrong
So the right stations are 260/762
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Finially
new trains for the subway
Let's see how long it takes before hooligans scratch graffiti into the windows and steel panels of the new trains, all while the new Metro police and staff do nothing to prevent it.
This is great to finally see. Now I can look up at a screen while riding the train to see what's the next stop.😄
Thanks for uploading this
35:51 yes it does but only on the R142, R142A, R143, and the R188 subway cars. But the stanchions are similar to the ones in NYC.
And the seating arrangement is only SLIGHTLY better than what's used in NYC....
Wish I could be there. I was at work lol. 😂
1:22:56 Quick Presentation
1:45:07 This ride from Wilshire/Western Station is underway
Awesome train and just,Ike the R211’s in New York City, it is an open gangway car
Can’t wait for the first dline extension on one of these
Will this train continue service after today or is this just for today?
According to the video, it's now in service on the D line.
Can I see the update for LA Metro Rail update for LA Metro A, E, B, & D Lines in 2025, in Cab Ride?
When I go back to los angeles ca in January 26 I will help metro community
And get rid of 261 and put back 762
You should help metro community and tell them to bring back 762 on Atlantic so they could get rid of 261 Because last year 2019 there was no issues with the trains or bus
I wonder when the HR5000 trains by Rotem Hyundai will arrive 🤔
A few years at most
Hopefully, before the Olympics.
@@mrxman581 Hopefully NEVER; look at the piss-poor job they did with the Metrolink equipment!
@@CraigFThompson They've already been ordered. They didn't extend the order with the Chinese because of constant problems with delivery of the 64 H4000 cars by CRRC.
@mrxman581 And now the LACMTA will end up with inferior subway equipment; that company has done such a poor job with the Metrolink cars it's frightful!
What about B Line?
It’s here
The HR5000 trains made by Rotem Hyundai might be more advanced than the HR4000 trains.
And far more passenger unfriendly t'boot!
Come down to Huntington beach make some videos with me
Jazz is dead? LA is twisted lol
22:37 Yk I can see you
0:01 Face reveal
wait till homeless graffiti it not long
Vapid comment.
Gotta ride these before the bums make it their own
