Mayor Bass Calls for Action Amid Rising Violence on LA Metro

In a stark change of position, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass admitted concerns over the safety of the city's Metro system, contradicting her previous statements that it was safe.

This acknowledgment comes in the wake of a series of violent incidents that have heightened commuter fears. Mayor Bass is set to propose a motion to increase patrols and visibility on Metro buses and trains, aiming to address the escalating violence.

Her admission and subsequent actions underscore the urgent need for enhanced security measures to protect riders and operators on LA's public transit system.
