I rode on LA’s metro — it was a hellscape of disturbing acts, violence and drugs
Commuters in Los Angeles are going through hell. And there’s statistics to prove it.
Crime on Los Angeles Metro has risen a staggering 58% since 2019 – despite bureaucrats pumping $192 million into safety measures.
Crime has risen from 2,747 reported incidents in 2019, to 4,354 in September 2025, according to Metro data. The data during the COVID period and recovery is not included.
Metro recorded 286 aggravated assaults on buses and rail lines in In 2025 — up 38% from 2017’s 207.
Rider complaints logged through Metro’s Transit Watch app also repeatedly flagged the same problems: open drug use, smoking, alcohol, graffiti, harassment and disorder.
Over the course of a week, the Post confirmed what riders have been describing, witnessing homeless passengers unraveling, pacing the aisles while shouting or muttering to themselves.
Drug deals were conducted in the open, with some customers lighting up in public, filling the sealed train cars with smoke.
Crack pipes clattered across grime-slicked floors and the sour stench of sweat and urine soaked the seats.
A woman even pulled a knife during one ride, waved it in the open car, before slipping the blade back into a holster and continuing on her journey like nothing had happened.

I have never left the state of Louisiana and never intend to.
People laugh at me when I tell them I’ve never been farther north than Shreveport, but get real quiet when I bring up shite like this as to why.

And people complain about not having a robust public transportation system nationwide.
I'd take my chances hitchhiking first.

Everything Democrats fund goes to shite and "somehow" the money never gets spent on the project, it just disappears.

Simple rule I have - I try to avoid low IQ people as much as possible so I avoid public transportation and fast food restaurants for example. This has served me very well over the years.

We just need more public transportation investment

But that high speed rail will really be something when they get it done.

I remember seeing scenes, like the one described, in distopian movies from the 80s. Never, ever thought it would be real in tUSA.

The Conservatives get out voted in every election. It's frustrating as hell.

We need some real “Death Wish” vigilantes in this world.

Hope they clean up LA before the Olympics in 2028.

"why do you insist on owning a personal vehicle and refuse to ride public transit?"

Remember everyone, the modern progressive left that advocates for ideologies like Marxism hold it to be true that humans are really quite altruistic and if ever freed from the oppressive tyranny of free market capitalism, folks would simply default to their natural tendency to help one another in selfless fashion. According to the left, if we would wise up and dismantle free market western culture and usher in a new era of communal ideology to our country, these folks that committed these crimes would immediately revert to their kindest selves.

Based on revelations by independent investigators this year, I think you can assume it's stolen.

This is the craziest thing I’ve heard all day.
