This weekend marks the 3rd anniversary of Metro Transportation Library on Twitter. The need for timely information about local and national transit & transportation has helped our total followers grow beyond 1,500. (To provide some perspective, the combined followers of the 73-branch Los Angeles Public Library and the 86-branch County of Los Angeles Public Library systems number less than 1,000).
To those who already follow us for the past, present and future of transportation news, research and history that we can't always catch in these Headlines, we thank you. For those who do not, we invite you along.
