Los Angeles County Metro officials voted Thursday to begin negotiating contract extensions with law enforcement agencies that patrol its trains and buses and to look into creating an in-house police department following reports that officers it pays to patrol the system might not be following through on that duty.
Ridership levels on the system’s Gold and Red lines were only 30 and 56 percent of pre-pandemic levels, respectively. Meanwhile, 22 people have died on Metro buses and trains since January and serious crime increased 24 percent last year.
