@riddhipatel1025 Hi Cathy. We're sorry -- and we've passed along your views. Little bit more: due to diff stage setup, crowds for B won't be as large as for TS. Thus parking lot, traffic control and security we need aren't being offered to us. We're disappointed too.

We're NOT mass ticketing/arresting. We're checking if fare was paid when riders entered the system. We're telling riders they could be cited if they didn't pay fare. This is day 2 of pilot program at NoHo-focus is on education. Many riders have asked for more fare compliance.
LAPD is mass ticketing & arresting people at North Hollywood subway station if you do not have money on your tap card upon exiting the train.

This is an excellent question!. Answer: it's not ash. It's sand that trains drop on tracks to reduce friction btwn steel wheels and track. Reducing friction = less wear-n-tear on equipment and helps reduce breakdowns. We clean up sand as it accumulates & appreciate heads up!.
@metrolosangeles do you have a plan to hose down tracks still covered in carcinogenic ash from the fires? itβs making for dangerous air down in the stations. this is soto ππ
