573 Bus Line
* I am among the unfortunate commuters who endure the traveling conditions aboard Commuter Express line 573. Whoever oversees this line ought to be fired or allow the contract to expire and look for new bidders. Obviously, the folks who are supposed to make a better transit system have never ridden a bus and probably have no intention of doing so.
The windows are “sealed,” allowing no ventilation. There is basically no ventilation available most days. The drivers beg off with the excuse that the air conditioning does not work, that it has been turned off for the season, that all that comes out of the vent is hot air, and the beat goes on.
I would like to continue riding the bus to work. However, I am close to returning to driving myself from the Valley to Century City. The unresponsiveness of those who take so little responsibility for improving the transit system leaves much to be desired.
