Compare these scenes to present day Los Angeles!

Do all Los Angeles transit operators wear lipstick?

Yeah the supervisor at 1:34 was called because a passenger called in and reported the car operator was wearing lipstick! :)

Once again awesome film!. Any transit bus or streetcar operator can certainly relate to this film. I know i do! It really is a big job! Anyone who thinks otherwise wouldnt understand. If iy werent for important people like us, cities would shut down entirely. Transit is an important business.

Man! Where did you dig this up? I really loved it. I didn't know how much a streetcar operator has to learn. Thanks, great stuff.

Cool video, reminds me of when I began in transit. Most of the content in this video as far as training still applies today. Transit is a traditional business. Nice recognition!
