Two stabbings at Red Line stations in recent weeks reignited concerns about passenger safety on the system. The Red Line had nearly twice as many violent crimes, 687, as the next line, Blue, the report said. Ridership on the Red Line in particular was 56% of pre-pandemic levels. ©2023 Los Angeles Times.
