With perfect balance of brevity and detail, this book takes you on a trip though history and into our urban future. As a northern Californian, I had no idea at the time the titanic battles to create a rail system, nor the trade offs needed to fund it. As a transit rider, this book put many issues in perspective. The political battles for huge public works projects are not uncommon, but for transit, each dollar spent on attracting new riders could have been spent to keep existing riders. Although only one of many well developed themes in the book, this helped balance my perspective on the difficulty balancing the rolls of capital and operations investments. As we face a world in dire need of more transit, these issues should be considered by anyone who rides or plans a future. Another theme answers the question, why does rail go where it does?
For those who live in LA and wonder how we ended up with the Metro rail system that we have, this is a superb read. Elkind is a great story-teller who understands the subject material incredibly well and takes the reader along the journey without overwhelming you with details.For those who have either never been to LA or think it's just the car-infatuated post-apocalyptic landscape as it's often portrayed in popular media, this book provides an eye-opening insight into the all-too-familiar politics that exist in any environment.Los Angeles may be late to the party in its (re-)development of a rail network, but, as Elkind's book portrays so well, it is a network that has been considered for decades, and that is thankfully finally coming to fruition.
A fantastic read that intimately explores the history of rail development in Los Angeles. Elkind has really done his research, with extensive interviews and references to historical internal Metro documents, news media, political minutes, public statements, etc. It manages to be readable and enjoyable while remaining deeply informative. Can't recommend this book enough to anyone who has ever questioned the scope or merits of LA's rail system.I only hope that Elkind revisits this project in coming years to update it as Metro continues its rail expansion.
No other book captures the history and complexity of LA's modern rail system - light and commuter. Must read for history, transportation and public policy aficionados, and Elkind's access to personal interviews and accounts are unmatched, even by other academic papers and publications, as they do not capture the evolution of LA's multimodal approach to transportation alternatives, and the social and legal obstacles that stood in the way.
and optimism for the future. LA needs rail to survive and thrive, and Elkind provides both the history and path forward for continued dramatic rail expansion.
Great book, very interesting review of the development of the new train transit system in LA.
The book was not very accurate with regard to the creation or passage of Measure R (the most importnt event in modern L.A rail history). Several key points and critical players were omitted the author basically misrepresented how the initiative came about and was passed. More research should have been conducted before this book was published.
excellent and accurate recount of the fascinating history of the rebirth of public transit in the LA region
