Overview
- LADOT pulled six 'See Something, Do Something' videos from its website and a YouTube channel shortly after CBS Los Angeles sought comment.
- A spokesperson told CBS the videos were not meant for public web viewing and were created for onboard displays to show riders how to report problematic behavior.
- It remains unclear how widely or how long the spots ran on buses, and the YouTube channel that hosted them now shows no content.
- The series addressed smoking, drinking, fare evasion, loud music and defecation, and asked riders to report incidents with route, date, time and a description if safe.
- Riders can report via LADOT’s website, email at harassment@ladottransit.com, or by calling (213) 546-7066, while separate opinion coverage criticized the approach and linked concerns to broader homelessness and enforcement debates.
