The 76.6-mile-long Antelope Valley Line has the third-highest ridership in Metrolink’s system with an estimated average of 9,000 passengers daily. However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.

California, you are a joke. You’re like a spoiled child that throws a tantrum when (s)he doesn’t get his way. Nanny state.
A joke that has the 6th largest economy in the world, great culture, great food, and great people.
Huge debt largest homeless population Taxes Taxes Taxes laws pushed through without a chance for voters to vote on.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.buzzfeed.com/amphtml/awesomer/california-is-the-most-beautiful-state-in-the-country
It is the most beautiful state.
Have you seen the news about our debt and homeless situation?
Paul Saganich Whether the voters vote on something doesn’t make much of a difference. CA voters have never met a tax increase or nonsensical law they didn’t like.
Joseph Rankin not all voters. ? some of are still trying to fight the mental people that control this beautiful state. But hell, it is costing a lot to keep the fight up. Lol
Irma Ibarra our homeless problem stems partly because we are a beautiful,generous to a fault,welfare state! Other states send their homeless to California and their taxpayers get off the hook while Calif.taxpayers get stuck with higher taxes to support the problem. Many are illegals in the first place too! ?
I agree Paul, CA is still the best
” The rules jeopardize the Affordable Care Act requirement that employers provide coverage of birth control for employees and their covered dependents with no out-of-pocket costs. ”
Oh boo f***ing hoo. Plenty of contraceptives are affordable, easily obtainable and by no means should be your employers problem. If you think otherwise, then I hope you do get boss’ contraceptives, because we dont need you breeding.
Seriously California get a clue! This is for sure the state of confusion… oh my poor 20 year old daughter who’s attending UCLA can’t get birth control, but we can afford to send you to one of the most expensive schools in California!!! WTF ?. Keep your legs closed!
Ok, that takes the cake. I can’t even post now as it will not even be close to as good as this. #SlowWellDeservedClap ??
Anyone who ‘buys in to’ this BS story ought to be on the ‘mental list’ …. It’s NOT the tax payers responsibility to provide ‘you’ with contraceptives. It’s YOUR responsibility to prevent pregnancy. Go see your Doctor. Get a percriptions and fill it at Walmart…. it’ll cost you $5.00 in most all cases. EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE INSURANCE. (all you bleeding heart stupid people make me retch)
Cross your legs, go to Planned Parenthood, or buy your own I’m done paying for your welfare babies.
Well, thanks to this changes, it looks like there is more welfare babies on their way for you to pay for them. No birth control=more welfare babies
Trilce Eli well sounds like you’re incompetent and they’re incompetent they don’t know how to keep their legs crossed how sad is that maybe they should go get jobs instead of laying on their back sides!
Go Get A Job Folks=Middle Age Whit Guys
Leonard John Elick III apparently you like living off the government is this what I’m collecting too, Or do you still live with your mother asking for friend
Well, if incompetent to you is someone that owns her own home, car, is at the top position on her job…than sure I’m incompetent lol!!
Trilce Eli then why are you complaining? About a product that is and should be the wait for it big word the RESPONSIBILITY of the individual not the group or against a religious belief. We’re not a socialist country. You may want us to be but we’re not God bless America.
Trilce Eli telling guys to keep it in their pants works really well too??
Susan Bertrand Rondou don’t you love how all these comments say “keep your legs cross” as if it was only the women’s responsibility. What a joke everyone is.
Also, contraceptivas are not only for birth control. Educate yourself.
Christopher William you make a lot of ill-thought out assumptions. First being this; you are NOT DONE with paying for “welfare babies” in fact you will be paying for welfare babies for the rest of your life no matter what you post on facebook. It’s one of those pesky things that happen in a democracy, you actually have to pay for some things you don’t use yourself. It’s the way civilization has chosen as the best way for everyone to live humanely. Not everyone is as smart or has as much self discipline as you obviously do.
Middle Age White Man = The Privilege to Determine What Everyone Else’s Rights Are
Middle Age White Man = Has Heart-Attack When People of Color Protest.
Middle Age White Man = Votes Trump Because He Wants to Repeal Obamacare. Lives on Medicare.
Christopher William also, you way not know this, but the Contraceptive pill is often prescribed for women to help problems with their Ovaries to help control their hormones, and has nothing to do with sex or babies.
Fun fact to all the ignorant out there. Contraceptives aren’t just to prevent pregnancy. They can also treat a vast number of medical concerns women have, including but not limited to:
– Hormone irregularity
– Painful, crippling, agonizing cramps that disrupt your days
– Heavy or irregular periods
– POI (Primary Ovarian Insufficiency)
– PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome)
– Endometriosis
And for the record, on average, birth control can cost, on average, anywhere from $20-$50 a month. Some people can’t afford that. I know I sure couldn’t for the last 4 months.
But no, please, continue to chide people and tell them to simply close their legs. I’m sure that advice is completely solid for women with any of the above listed issues.
And so does weed……. #Irony. But businesses don’t have to provide that do they?
And they are pri
They are probably the same people who have iPhones, hair/nail salon appoinments, tattoos etc… who are demanding free birth control for all other ” medical concerns.” Its called priorities figure it out.
Red Herring Argument. Weed is still classified as a Schedule I drug despite efforts to make it otherwise, is still illegal on a federal level, and therefor cannot be funded by insurance companies in any way. D- for effort.
Also. Weed cannot fix hormone imbalances. Because it’s not hormones.
I shouldn’t have to pay for your birth control, try family planning, it works if you work it. oops, sorry too much work.
If they want birth control, they can pay for it themselves. I don’t need to pay for them to keep their legs open with my taxes.
“rules that will deny access to contraceptives for millions of women and their families by allowing employers to interfere with health care.” What if I told you that if you want it, YOU CAN STILL GO AND BUY IT YOURSELF
I love living in Southern CA because of the weather. Thats about it.. So sick of all the liberal BS. Go get a job and YES pay for your own birth control. NO MORE HAND OUTS.
Heads-up kneejerk Republicans…The Contraceptive Pill is prescribed very often to treat Ovarian Cysts and other medical conditions. It’s not about “closing your legs” (wow what century are you from?) it’s about giving people the healthcare they need, because we are a civilized society that cares for all it’s citizens. You can always move to Texas if California is too humane for you. Oh wait, that’s YOUR standard answer to people who complain about America, “Then leave!”. Now it’s your turn. If you don’t like California, leave and find a state that you feel more comfortable in. One with less brown ‘welfare babies’ and more white ‘welfare babies’. Isn’t that what you really are complaining about after all? It’s giving your money to help brown people. That’s what really pisses you off isn’t it? Isn’t it!
While true….. is this about stopping people with Ovarian Cysts from treatment OR about making one’s problem, someone else’s problem?
Talk about a BROAD statement for a small sample size. When anything gets ‘taken’ away people moan and complain. But let’s think about the money saved that then could actually HELP those (with serious medical conditions) get the help they deserve?
But I’m just a small minded knee jerk reaction Republican, so what do I know? ?
Hey Robert, obviously you are not a full-kneejerk Republican or you would have posted in ALL CAPS with lots of spelling errors. But, to your point, do you really think any ‘money saved’ would ever go anywhere but into the pockets of the Health Insurance companies and Hospitals? Also, what makes Ovarian Cancer a medical condition that is somehow not ‘serious’ to you? Probably because you don’t know anyone with Ovarian Cysts, because this is the thing I’ve noticed Robert, that people who identify as Republican have a habit of not caring about something until they get personally affected. For example the Republican Governors who wouldn’t pay for other states disaster relief, but cried for FEMA when they had a Hurricane. It’s not okay to keep taking things away from people just because you think it will never affect you and your family. Because one day it might.
Paul Wynne, again, a broad statement. We all care. But some feel that money can be saved and utilized for good in other areas. When we (business) do not get the opportunity to vote and / or weigh in (e.g. forced) to contribute to something we may not personally believe in, then it causes a mixed bag of emotions.
What if your company was forced to pay for marijuana as we now know it contains many Medicinal purposes (especially as specific strains are being harvested to help people with disease).
Taking away something (that wasn’t always given btw), is difficult for some. But that burden should not be ‘forced’. No different than pay, days off, or other essential benefits.
If the Feds, or my state, forced me to do anything against my beliefs (or what my pocket book could afford), this would be not only a legal rights issue but a civil issue.
So I’m receiving ‘said’ benefits from an employer (via the state), those receiving the benefits are still undoubtedly TAKING (notice all caps ?) away from someone or something else. It’s very simple. One can not receive without taking…… unless that gift is being given freely. And that comes from ones heart……. not governing bodies.
Robert, it’s getting late, so I’ll be brief. What you seem to be describing appears to be that you are against all taxation? Or all Government Fees? Am I right? Do you object to the military being given more than they actually asked for when at the same time we are told that children’s Medicare is unaffordable? Of course you care. But not as much as you care about paying for Birth Control. However, there’s a reason rules are forced onto businesses; fees, healthcare costs, taxes, building codes etc, etc. The reason is if businesses were not forced to do these things most businesses simply would not. Take a look at Walmart the poster child for the success of Capitalism. Apart from buying everything from China and therefore outsourcing the manufacturing jobs, they have also devised a system where they only employ people in short shifts so they can avoid giving them health insurance. Yes more rules = less profit. So what. Other countries manage to run their lives pretty successfully without gouging each other. In fact it’s the heavily regulated socialist countries that always score highest on the ‘Happiness Index’ such as Denmark and Sweden. It’s the rules that business hate, that makes society civilized. So when you get a Capuccino in Starbucks you know they didn’t use dirty equipment to make it. So when you get in a rental car you know the wheels won’t fall off. It’s a country of laws and they work most of the time. But only because they are enforced. If you wait for a Disabled Restroom to be built voluntarily in every restaurant due to “that gift being given freely” then you’d have a very long wait ? Nite nite.
My god, just make it OTC like most of the rest of the world and for less than a doctor visit copay, you can buy it.
AMEN…
