From Los Angeles, CA Times, 2/20/06:

Two years after the Gold Line began running, transportation officials are still struggling to fill it with riders. So, recently they announced with great fanfare that they would launch a rush-hour express service.

The express trains, they said, would stop at just five of the 13 stations, shaving five minutes off the usual 34-minute, 14-mile trip. What they didn't say was that the new service, designed to woo new riders, would come at the expense of the old service and existing riders.
