I've lived in LA for 3 years and voted to support Measure M. My take on this is that by increasing the capacity for public transit, we'll be able to support a continuously growing city. One of the ticket items that got me to support Measure M is funding for the Sepulveda Transit Pass, which will build a train route from Sherman Oaks to UCLA and down to Culver City and ultimately connect to the Purple Line.

The problem with the graph is that it doesn't factor in population growth, which seems to have grown from 3.2 million to 6.9 million from 1970 to 10 million 2013. If you calculated the miles travelled in transit per year, you'll interpret many folks in LA benefit from the Measures.

As a result, I believe the article is disingenuous by attacking a successful measures by relying on poorly interpreted data.
