As Los Angeles public transit users come to grips with the latest 
incident in a spree of violence, officials are preparing a plan to cut 
down on violent crime on subways and buses, and numbers from the Los 
Angeles County Sheriff’s Department could indicate their possible course 
of action.

On Tuesday, one man stabbed another in the leg on a bus in Lynwood, and 
though the alleged assailant is in custody, it’s yet another attack on a 
Metro vehicle.

In previous weeks, multiple passengers, drivers and people at Metro 
stations have been robbed, stabbed and shot, some of them fatally.

But despite the prominent violence, according to statistics released by 
the Sheriff’s Department, violent crime is down by 10% from January 
through April this year and is primarily being perpetrated by people who 
are not paying a fare.

Of the 153 violent crimes perpetrated on Metro between May 2023 and 
April 2024, 143 of them — more than 93% — were believed to be committed 
by people who did not pay a valid fare and were using the transit system 
illegally.

Though public officials have not yet detailed exactly how they hope to 
combat crime on Metro, it’s possible that stronger fare enforcement 
could be part of the plan. More information is expected Thursday when 
Mayor Karen Bass discusses the issue with the Metro Board of Directors.
