Who was the best Co. to work for LARly or Pacific Electric. I've heard that there were poor management / worker relations on the LARly.

LA Transit Lines was owned by National City Lines who were as anti-rail as you can get. They were instrumental in dismantling streetcar lines not only in LA but all over the country. I'm glad to see we have come full circle!!!
