January 18, 2008 - Los Angeles MTA Transit TV screens promote brownpride.com on "American Latino TV" segments on Metro Rapid Bus 754, Vermont Avenue.

Nice. I wonder, would they accept whitepride.com or blackpower.com ads? And where is American Black TV, American Asian TV, American Indian TV?

The Spanish language material is one thing.. but racially divisive programming?

Is this appropriate for a federally funded public transit agency?

On a side note, the video is so shaky because Vermont Avenue is maintained by the City of Los Angeles. Oh sorry, "deferred maintenance." That's the new term for neglect.

  • FACT is MTA agrees that is was a bunch of Racist garbage and through that mechanism detracted from all other races and the end result is ......IT WAS PULLED!

    IT IS NOT ON ANY MORE!

    It is better not being there than having all that Spanish language garbage all day long anyway!

  • Interesting. Fact of the matter is, I bought a car in December 2008 as I was sick of MTA and their constant bull from being late all the time, to the drivers' real ghetto "I don't care" attitude, and just all the other crap I had to deal with every day... The only thing I do miss, is being able to read the news and all my feeds and blogs I used to be able to catch up with to/from work every day...

  • You sound racist yourself saying "illegal lovers". One thing you obviously don't know about illegal immigrants...they help the U.S. dearly with a lot of things that you and I as citizens would never do. They are the backbone of this country. The U.S. is one of the most racists countries in the world and you're a prime example of a racist bigot.

  • You're an idiot. The backbone of the United States is the American worker, the middle class and home business. If the U.S. is the most racist country, then why do MORE people come here than any other country? You're a complete idiot.

  • transit tv's suck i wish they would take them all off

  • For you people NOT from LA and commenting on this video...BROWN PRIDE is simply the mexican version of a White Nazi Skinhead.

    Both are dumb, uneducated, inbred, criminal SCUM.

    The sick thing is, the city govt of LA and business like the MTA call it all "cultural diversity".

    Disgusting.

    Close the borders.

    Start the mass deportations.

    Execute gang bangers in the street then jail their families.

see all

  • @qwandiddy But yes...the Transit TV montiors for Chicago PACE buses and few other Transit agencies like LYNX, MARTA, and MCTS have them off since Transit TV isn't maintaining the monitors due to the fact they didn't came back to those Transit Agencies in those other cities. I even contact these TA's to have Transit TV monitors removed and got reply from two agencies, MCTS told me it would cost funds to do it and they have no plans using TTV.

  • @qwandiddy Actually Transit TV isn't in the Chicago market, PACE didn't discontinued these. But yes, I do agree PACE needs to remove the Transit TV monitors from any bus that has them. I do remember when Torstars shut down Transit TV in early 2009 but in the summer, it was brought by Tezo System but only came back to Los Angeles market. Better be lucky there not back at Chicago or other cities I mentioned, but they might come back if TTV meets their marketing goals but I hope NOT.

  • @45localbus I'm glad that PACE discontinued those TVs. It was so annoying and too distraction that causes passengers to miss their destination stop. I always been got annoyed by them, one day I almost hurried and got off the bus at the wrong destination after It played that most annoying boring commercial of Everess College with that crazy guy saying "You sit in there watching TV and you let it pass you by" , I really couldn't take it no more. So I'm glad those TVs were disabled.

  • I forgot to mention that Transit TV also in the past had played inappropriate things in the past, other things. But no matter what, the Transit TV's are annoying, loud and boring. Then Metro wonders why ridership is declining on the buses for these past years.

    At least not all Metro buses have Transit TV monitors for now.

  • @icemohawk I agree with you, Metro needs to take down these Transit TV. I rather pay more higher fares then hear these annoying things. I just want to get through peaceful and quiet ride without harassment by Transit TV. At least other Transit Agencies in LA and california don't use them at all, however San Diego MTS was gonna use them after signing a contract with them but they didn't due to the fact they shut down at that time but later TTV came back but only to L.A Market.

  • @qwandiddy BTW LYNX-Central Florida Regional Transit Authority (Orlando, FL), MARTA (Atalanta,Georgia), and Milwaukee County Transit System (Milwaukee, WI) had Transit TV services until 2009 when they went through temporary shut down and when the Transit TV came back, then they went only into LA Market. At least the Transit TV are off in the other cities where Transit Agencies use them but only because didn't come back, but they will if they meet their marketing goals. I hope not.

  • @qwandiddy Also don't forget, Chicago PACE's Orion I buses didn't get Transit TV monitors installed either. I'm glad the Orion I and 1996 NOVABus Classics never got them installed. It's too bad the other fleet has them, except for the newer buses from 2009- and so on, consider Transit TV has NOT came back to Chicago market ever since 2009 bankruptcy (which they were out) in which Transit Tv came out of and came back only to market in LA after being brought by Tezo System.

  • It is funny how people make a big deal out of something that is not intending any harm? Also, the only people who truly have a right to say that they are proud Americans are Native Americans. All others, their families immigrated here. At the end of the day, they are no different than the people they look down upon.

  • @Chris4400 Actually I would just point out that, I wouldn't be quick to rule out what mikeexcites stated. This may possibly be the most racist country in the world. Why the most racist? Try Diversity, its also one of the most diverse nations on earth. By the way a lot, and I mean A LOT Of this racism was conveyed by the average American when Barrack Obama was running for President. Unfortunately yes, Racism is still a HUGE Problem in America! Obama helped us witness 21st century racism!

  • Note: Not all MTA drivers are mean, rude or ghetto. Ride my line I do line 217 run #4 on sat and sun you'll never catch a driver as chill as me:-D
