The next day the cyclist calls the Metro and reports the incident. Within hours he receives an email from an official at the Metro contradicting Supervisor Mike Dunn and with Bus Drive Instructions in the subject line. “Bus operators are not told to honk at cyclists. As a matter of fact, the policy states that cyclists have the same rights on the road as motorists and that operators are to follow at a safe distance or pass with 3-4 l/2 feet of right side clearance.”

Stephen Box is part of a (growing) group of cyclists rolling along the mean streets of LA who are well-schooled in their legal rights and assertive about them...if he wants to play martyr to the cause I for one can only admire him. He'll go into a courtroom if he has to with very little fear.

MTA is better over the last couple years but they have a way to go. I wonder sometimes if the timetables the drivers are expected to meet are always realistic given the traffic.

oh and send a compaint if you are moved to. I will...
