L.A. Metro has begun reducing bus and rail service due to a shortage of bus drivers and train operators.
FILE — A man hops on a Metro Red Line train in North Hollywood on May 20, 2021. Metro said the reduction of operators has occurred due to a “perfect storm” that includes the national labor shortage, attrition greater than hiring and employees contracting COVID-19.
Bus operators began to leave the agency at higher rates than they were being hired in July 2021. Since that time, 356 bus drives have left the agency and only 207 were hired. Metro officials said the cancellations disproportionately impact “equity focused communities,” particularly in South Los Angeles.Putin Recognizes Independence Of Ukraine Breakaway Regions, Escalating Conflict With West
The agency has about 3,119 bus operators, and needs to add an additional 448. It’s also down 28 rail operators, with only 298 currently working as of Jan. 27.
