A Web site of transit history keeps the record
For all of you transit trivia buffs, there's a growing Web site tracking the history of public transportation in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas.
Called the Transit Insider, the site lists decades of detailed information about Los Angeles, Glendale and Burbank. It's the baby of Kymberleigh Richards, who sits on Metro's San Fernando Valley Service Sector and on the nonprofit board of the Southern California Transit Advocates.
Richards most prized fact found to date is about a bus line set to ferry passengers from the San Fernando Valley to Century City in 1980 but was cancelled by the RTD board about one month before it was set to take off. She calls it Line 570: The RTD Line that never was.
