L.A. Transit Fan Gets Thanks From Mayor, Custom Bus Stop Sign ("Al Vogel lives in Durham, Calif., about 20 miles south of Chico. But the organic farmer and former teacher loves Los Angeles so much that he often visits to explore the city by bus and train, relying solely on public transit to get around. Last summer, one of Vogel's visits -- with extended family in tow -- was chronicled in the Los Angeles Times in a piece in which he described how much he loved getting around the city carlessly. Art Leahy, chief executive of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, read the story and determined to meet Vogel in person.")

Metro OKs $59M Security Contract With Sheriff's Dept. ("The 11-0 vote expands the existing contract, adding 105 personnel, 70 of whom will be sworn sheriff's deputies. The rest will mostly function as assistant fare checkers. The expansion of the contract is due in part to the anticipated opening of a section of the Exposition Light Rail line early next year. Thirty-three new LASD transit deputies will be devoted to policing the new limb of the county's transit system. The rest of the deputies will be deployed along the Blue and Green lines and Union Station downtown.")
