LA officials do not prioritize providing protection for transit riders in LA. It is a denigrated activity, and does not need to be perceived nor treated as such. At the very least, people deserve equitable shade in the hottest parts of LA, and shelter in the more open areas - shelter is perhaps the most basic human need for survival, after a positive outlook. Let's give bus riders a more equitable chance at both.
