The problem is that this cancelled event, does not have an AM or PM. In this particular case, we can probably accurately guess that the meeting was at noon not midnight, but generally we shouldn't guess.

I think the right move here is to ask LA Metro to fix upstream. Thoughts @hancush ?

[hannah cushman garland]

sounds reasonable to me, @fgregg. can you take this on?

[Forest Gregg]

I don't typically communicate with LA Metro, but I can if you'd like.

this was handled upstream by LA Metro
