The Los Angeles Union station is a pretty busy station as it serves the second largest city in the country and has 15 passenger railroad tracks mostly used by Amtrak and Metrolink trains but also LA metro Gold as well as Metro Red and purple line subway terminus station and 8 metro bus lines at the Patsaouras Transit Plaza and some private bus lines. Many passengers using any of these means have to connect through the station and its long foot tunnel to get where they are going. As with rest of Los Angeles there are plenty of issues with buses that drive dangerously and run red lights or turn across occupied crosswalks when the walk signal is still on sometimes forcefully while blowing the horn while entering or leaving the transit plaza. I wonder what is the best way to report these dangerous bus drivers who endanger passengers entering and leaving the station. I tried emailing LA metro but no response from there.
Though the biggest issue in that station is those dangerous Taylor truck cart drivers who treat the tunnel between the station and the Patsaouras Transit plaza like a race obstacle course and often flooring it while swerving and honking, I witnessed some passengers hard to literally jump out of the way of these carts almost getting hit. Its only a matter of time these hard metal Taylor truck carts driven by kamikaze reckless drivers hit a passenger which can possibly be fatal if elderly or otherwise physically vulnerable get involved or have a passenger rider fall off it while it swerves aggressively around foot passengers in the tunnel at high speeds. It appears these are independent contractors that are not associated with any agency and the carts have no markings though I always wonder who is monitoring their conduct within the Union Station confines. I know that Union station has its own security and management though there is no complaint hotline or web report of any type. Its only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs within that tunnel if the issue remains unchecked.
