No, it's not a typo. Metro's 'Micro' rideshare service, which offers rides in LA County for $1, is seeing more demand as gas prices continue to increase.
Woods said Metro wanted to offer a reliable service. The service is meant to be a fast, safe and cost-effective option for quick trips around town.
"Usually when I ride, I would say it's about 10 to 15 minutes, and sometimes 20 in high traffic areas [for the service to arrive], but you will get alerts along the way. When most people ride, there's usually not more than three people in a vehicle. Our largest vehicle is the electric vehicle so we will be able to get up to eight or ten people [in that vehicle]," said Narula-Woods.
"I think that's going to be a game changer for our whole community because suddenly it leans into access to opportunity," said Narula-Woods."I'm able to meet some of the people in my community and interact with them. It's [Micro] gonna really change the way you think about public transportation," said Rodriguez. "Most of the time, in the mornings, it consists of getting people to work.
