Los Angeles Mass Transit System: Success Or Failure?
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length.

According to Scott L. Bottles, author of Los Angeles and the Automobile: The Making of the Modern City, Southern Californians began a love affair with private vehicles that would eventually create a crisis situation where transit was concerned; not only did automobiles provide a sense of freedom and independence, but they also equipped individuals with more advantageous economic choices over trains or street cars. In short, it was the general populace that long resisted – and therefore did not patronize to any great extent – the various forms of mass transit alternatives made available to the traveling public. However, times have changed and so have once-stubborn attitudes, inevitably instilling a brand new – and positive – perspective with regard to contemporary options. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
