ECHO PARK (CBSLA) — A search for a man who went into Echo Park Lake after his swan paddleboat overturned has shifted from rescue to recovery. A dive team is now on scene to help firefighters find a man who was reported to have gone into the lake after a paddleboat he and his cousin were in overturned just before 4 a.m. Firefighters spent the morning searching the lake’s murky water, going out into paddleboats themselves and using their flashlights to scan the surface. They also used the lights from ladder trucks to try and illuminate the water. Witnesses say the two men were part of a large group that had been drinking. One man was able to get to the side of the lake after the paddleboat overturned, and was seen yelling for help and to not let his cousin drown. Echo Park Lake is popular for its paddleboat rentals, but the service shuts down at sunset. Witnesses say the group was at the lake after hours, and it’s unclear when they went out into the boat.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — As the MTA announces plans to increase fares twice over the next three years, a new report finds more customers are opting for rideshare services, which is also causing increased congestion. MTA officials announced Wednesday that they’ll be raising fares by 4 percent next year and another 4 percent in 2021. Officials say the hikes are necessary to stave off budget deficits and decreased ridership. “As we stated in November and as we stated in February, the MTA requires new sources of sustainable revenue for operations and for capital,” said Chief Financial Officer Robert Foran. “Again, those are forecasted. They’re still subject to our need, they’re subject to public hearings and they’re subject to board action.” Just the thought of another fare hike has MTA riders upset. “I think it’s absurd,” one rider said. “I don’t think we’re seeing an improvement in service.” “The fares increase, but service stays the same or gets worse,” said another. Part of the reason for the increase in lower ridership appears to be competition from rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, CBS2’s Janelle Burrell reported. According to transportation consultant Bruce Schaller’s study The New Automobility , the effects of ridershares is not only impacting the use of public transit, but it’s also causing more congestion. The report shows that about 60 percent of people who use the services in large cities would have used public transportation or walked, biked or not made that trip if rideshare services weren’t available. MTA Chairman Joe Lhota said the transit system is experiencing a nationwide trend of fewer riders. He said it’s due to a combination of service, for-hire vehicles and fare evasion.

Facebook is suffering a major financial blow after months of punishing headlines about privacy and content concerns. Its stock plunged up to 24 percent in after-hours trading Wednesday, wiping out as much as $150 billion of the social media giant’s market value in under two hours. This comes after Facebook announced second quarter revenue missed Wall Street expectations by around $130 million, and growth in the number of active users is slowing down. Wired editor-in-chief and CBS News contributor Nicholas Thompson joins “CBS This Morning” to put it into context.
