In this special World Cup edition of SGV Connect, Damien Newton talks with Foothill Transit Communications Director Felicia Friesema about how transit agencies across Los Angeles County are preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Friesema explains Foothill Transit's role in supporting Metro's operations at SoFi Stadium, including lending buses for shuttle service between Union Station and the stadium. She encourages San Gabriel Valley residents to use the Silver Streak and other transit connections to reach World Cup matches, noting that transit will play a critical role in moving tens of thousands of spectators. The conversation also explores the behind-the-scenes planning required for a global event, with Friesema describing months of coordination, training, and security preparation involving Metro, Foothill Transit, and other agencies. The discussion then shifts to broader transit topics, including rising gas prices, ridership growth, long-term budgeting challenges, and Foothill Transit's proposed changes to commuter express service. Newton and Friesema also discuss recent improvements to the regional fare system, including contactless credit card payments, the impact of the A Line extension into the eastern San Gabriel Valley, and the surprising success of Foothill Transit's temporary "Line 6-7" shuttle connecting the La Verne A Line station with Fairplex during the Los Angeles County Fair. Throughout the conversation, Friesema emphasizes the importance of flexibility, regional coordination, and adapting transit service to changing travel patterns across Southern California. Damien Newton: As mentioned in the intro, I'm here with Felicia Friesema of Foothill Transit. This is our unofficial, quasi-official World Cup edition of the SGV Connect podcast and Streetsblog coverage. This podcast is going up on Friday, the day of the first World Cup game in Los Angeles: the United States versus Paraguay. There's been a lot of press about how people are getting to the stadium, the cost of parking, and all of those sorts of issues. But we wanted to highlight that it is easy and possible to take transit to the games, no matter where you're coming from. As we've mentioned before, I live in West Los Angeles. On Monday, we're planning to go to a parking lot in Santa Monica and take the bus directly to the game—a game that I still only give about a 50 percent chance of actually happening. But we're not talking about Santa Monica today. We're talking about the San Gabriel Valley. So again, I'm here with Felicia. Why don't we talk a little bit about service from the San Gabriel Valley to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood? How is that all going to work? What's the expectation, and what are we hoping to see? Felicia Friesema: Well, I think it's really important that people understand how critical transit is going to be for making these matches work. When you start seeing Caltrans signs on the freeway encouraging people to take transit to the matches at SoFi, it tells you how important transit is to making the whole experience happen. FIFA has some very strict rules about tailgating—as in, you're not allowed to do it—so it takes away some of the benefits of driving to the stadium that some people enjoy. Foothill Transit is lending 10 buses to Metro to help operate the shuttle trips originating from Union Station and heading to SoFi Stadium. The best way to get from the San Gabriel Valley to Union Station and then take those shuttles is to ride the Silver Streak. It runs very regularly—every 15 minutes during the week and every half hour on weekends. It's a pretty reliable service. You can visit foothilltransit.org and get all your trips itinerized. I don't know if that's a word. Did I just make up a word? Damien Newton: I don't know. All words are made up. Felicia Friesema: I'm only the communications director, you know. Damien Newton: Doesn't Thor say that in one of the Marvel movies? Someone tells him he made up a word and he responds, "All words are made up." Felicia Friesema: Right. One thing I do want to note, though: for the shuttles going into SoFi, there won't be fare collection on the buses themselves. Spectators can pay in one of two ways. They can purchase parking online in advance, which includes shuttle service, or they can pay on site using mobile fare-payment validators that will be stationed near the shuttle boarding queues. Passengers will pay before they board the bus. It's a little different from how we're normally doing things, but it's something people should be aware of. Damien Newton: We've seen Metro do this for other major events, and even private shuttle operations. When you're trying to move 30,000 people by bus for a special event, sometimes there are different procedures for boarding and exiting. It's good for people to know ahead of time so they can plan accordingly. Do you know of other Foothill Transit employees who are planning to attend the games? Is this something people have talked about at the staff level? Like, "I'm going to the game and here's how I'm getting there." Felicia Friesema: Honestly, the biggest thing is that we all have our favorite teams, right? But most of our participation is making sure the service happens without a hitch. Our role is making sure service is delivered safely and securely, and that coordination with Metro is clear, concise, and effective. It's more about enabling other people to have a great experience. We'll mostly be listening from the sidelines while making sure everyone else can get there. Damien Newton: One thing I've always wondered about these major events, where your agency has such an important support role, is whether there's an extra level of excitement in the planning process—or whether it's more intense because there are so many additional details to work through. Felicia Friesema: FIFA—and subsequently the Olympics—are really their own category when it comes to this kind of planning. We've been meeting with Metro weekly for months to work through the logistics of serving the matches. The level of preparation, planning, security awareness, and training for operators, dispatchers, and security staff is well beyond what would normally happen for something like Rose Bowl shuttle service. We have the Rose Bowl service down to a science. We know exactly how it works. But the World Cup requires a much more detailed operational plan. I don't know that I'd call it anxiety, but it's definitely more intense. Damien Newton: That was probably the wrong word. Felicia Friesema: Yeah. Damien Newton: I should have made a word up. Felicia Friesema: Exactly. It's more intense. When you have an event as visible and heavily attended as the World Cup, everything operates at a different level. Not that we don't pay attention to those things for local events—we absolutely do—but this is bigger in every way. More people, more excitement, more moving parts. The good thing is that Metro has done a phenomenal job laying the groundwork for all of us to succeed. We're really grateful for that.

A 140 mph bus on California freeways sounds like a joke you would see in your news feed, until you realize Caltrans is seriously studying it. We dig into the “bullet bus” concept and what it would actually require to run intercity service at "aircraft-level speeds" on rubber tires, including dedicated freeway lanes, banked curves, ultra-durable pavement, and technology that likely leans on advanced driver assistance or autonomous systems. The promise is seductive: a San Francisco to Los Angeles trip in about 3 hours and 50 minutes, cutting a long drive nearly in half.Then we put that headline next to the elephant in the room: California high-speed rail. We recap the project's history, ballooning cost estimates, and the ongoing funding fight that has turned rail into a political target. A big question hangs over the bullet bus idea: even if it is pitched as a supplement, does it create a “why not just do buses” argument that could undermine rail before the state finishes what it started?Subscribe for more transit deep dives, share this with a friend who loves (or hates) California megaprojects, and leave a review with your take: would you ride a 140 mph bullet bus?Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Caltrans is exploring a futuristic idea to run high-speed buses—capable of 80 to 140 mph—on dedicated freeway lanes across California. Is the state waiving the white flag on High Speed Rail? Will this add a lane or take one away from cars? Still in the early research phase, the plan would require major infrastructure upgrades, specialized vehicles, and new safety systems.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (5.6) Whatever you do, DO NOT take the 110 North! It’s like a snaking parking lot ATM. Timmy should be the head of Caltrans, what with all his predictions and common sense. Timmy's family is going out of town this weekend for Mother’s Day and he’ll be all lonesome, so he texted seven friends to see if they wanted to come over and watch TV. Here’s what they each responded: “No.” “We have a TV,” “What’s going on with you?” “Is it a sleepover?” “SURE.” “Can I bring my mom?” “You lucky guys whose mom has passed on.” Also, why in LA do we never broadcast sports events on big screens outdoors like they do in other towns?

After losing power for nearly a week following a massive snowstorm — complete with exploding trees, a fallen line ripped from a neighbor's weatherhead, and Caltrans traffic control on a state highway — host Dillon digs into one of the most debated topics in utility infrastructure: should power lines go underground? He breaks down the real costs involved (think $3–5 million per mile today), the tradeoffs between above-ground and underground systems, and why neither option is a clear winner. From PG&E's proactive undergrounding efforts in fire-prone California to the buried utility nightmares of cities like New York and San Francisco, Dillon gives a grounded, no-BS engineering perspective on why the answer almost always comes down to one thing: who's going to pay for it — and nobody ever wants to.

Send a textA blocked freeway at the wrong time can ruin your whole day, and we're not pretending otherwise. We start with the Los Angeles commute reality: Caltrans shutting down lanes, last-minute detours, showing up to work stressed, and watching your gas gauge drop while California gas prices keep climbing. When you're leaving early, losing sleep, and still getting hit with traffic, it's easy to feel like the system is working against regular people who just want to clock in on time.From there we get into driving safety, because the road feels more reckless than ever. We talk speeding, tailgating, and the mindset that treats the freeway like a racetrack, plus the real consequences when someone loses control at high speeds. “Good driving” isn't about being aggressive, it's about control, patience, and keeping your record clean. We also touch on respect and manners, and how being polite can get misread in today's culture, even when it's simply about carrying yourself right.Then we switch gears into work life and leadership: what it's like being a supervisor, why everybody makes mistakes, and why owning your mess-ups beats hiding them. And yes, we go there with public restroom etiquette, the blame game nobody wants, and why you should think twice before walking into a nasty stall with people watching. We end on a fun note with Disneyland, being a Magic Key holder, and why adults deserve to enjoy what they love, plus respect for influencers who stream live and make it look easy.Subscribe for more real talk, share this with a friend who hates traffic, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Suavecito All hair types and textures.

Adam kicks things off by sharing his excitement for the upcoming Rolex Historics at Monterey's Laguna Seca before chatting about his plans to spend time aboard Rick Caruso's massive superyacht. He then reacts to Stephen A. Smith's explanation of why Pete Buttigieg is polling at 0% among black voters despite leading the 2028 Democratic primary race overall, and weighs in on Denver's bid to host the Gay Games. Then, Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller dive into trending headlines, from Emma Raducanu wanting a crying baby removed during a tense 23-minute game, to Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon serve being interrupted by a rogue champagne cork, to Los Angeles officials cracking down on dangerous street takeover meet-ups with tougher penalties and possible jail time.Then, renowned attorney and author Alan Dershowitz calls in! Adam opens by asking about the importance of political balance in American governance before shifting focus to the growing challenges of living in California. Alan connects the homelessness crisis in major cities to policy decisions dating back to Ronald Reagan, while Adam voices concern over the increasing trend of corporations and publications blacklisting people for their political views. They also touch on the controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein—including Alan's own legal entanglements, Trump's alleged involvement, and the mystery of Epstein's wealth—before Alan shares his candid thoughts on the Democratic Party and the Obamas.Lastly, Adam recaps his recent fire vlog where he interviews Rick Caruso about how he successfully protected his properties during the Southern California wildfires. Adam and Jason Mayhem Miller discuss the value of trade work, with Adam arguing that college isn't always the best—or only—path to a successful career. They also point out Caltrans work trucks they always see on the freeway and imagine the nightmare of crashing into one. Finally, Adam vents his frustration over a Los Angeles tunnel being tagged with graffiti less than a day after it was repainted, using it as a jumping-off point to rant about modern parenting and the need to teach kids common sense.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH ALAN DERSHOWITZ:BOOK: The Preventive State: Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms While Preserving Essential LibertiesTWITTER: @AlanDershFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineHomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMOpenPhone.com/adamPluto.tvThriveMarket.com/ACSLIVE SHOWS: August 29 - Provo, UTAugust 31 - Torrance, CASeptember 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
