Traffic

Have you ever wondered why the traffic in Los Angeles keeps getting worse, despite all the money spent on studies, plans and capital improvements? Well, here’s a clue. With the recently approved Century freeway driverless carriage, we are now blessed with three incompatible mass transit systems (“Automated Century Trolley Gets Green Light,” Metro, May 26).

Transportation planners can’t even agree on a regional system that works together. We are in much bigger trouble than I thought. Better oil the chain on your bicycle.
