LA's Red Busses Win Praise

Since being introduced in late June, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's red buses have emerged as a surprising success for the L.A. public transportation system. The express routes have attracted so many riders that the MTA has added 10 percent more buses to service them. The pilot program was rolled out at a cost $10 million to determine whether a faster form of above-ground travel would increase the use of public transportation.
