Are Los Angeles' Transit Policies Discriminatory?

"The battle began more than a decade ago when the M.T.A., the nation's third largest public transit system, behind New York and Chicago, developed a plan to build a huge subway and light-rail system. The idea was to woo commuters out of their cars with efficient trains and rescue the region from choking sprawl... Most of the rail lines were intended to link middle-class and affluent suburbs to downtown Los Angeles...the critical issue was a plan to raise bus fares sharply and eliminate the sale of monthly bus passes, used heavily by workers, immigrants and members of minorities."
