So, it's no surprise that traffic
remains the top concern for
Southern California residents,
topping personal safety, housing
costs and retirement savings in
a recent Los Angeles Times poll,
findings echoed by Metrolink
riders. Sixty-seven percent of riders
surveyed said less stress than driving
is why they take the train.
"I now come home relaxed," says
Steve Dooner, who recently starting
taking Metrolink from Moorpark to
work in Burbank after tiring of stop-
and-go traffic driving the I-5.
"I thank God every day for Metrolink,"
says Hasan Ikhrata, executive
director of the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG).
"When I look out the window to the
right and see the 10 Freeway, I'm so
glad not to be in one of those cars
stuck in traffic."
