Los Angeles - Metro - has been declining for years. Not bad for Q2, just about 1% decline for heavy rail and bus. Light rail was 15% decline, but that was expected since its #1 used lightrail line, the Blue line, has been closed in stages for a system line overhaul/renovations. Q3 will be worse because it closed down the northern half that it shares 2 stations with the northern half of the Blue Line with Expo line. While expo opened recently the 2 shared stations,the Blue wont fully re-open until late October I think. So expect really sharp ridership numbers in Q3 for light rail in LA Metro agency.
