Checking out the 3 new Regional Connector subway stations on opening day. The new layout will make the A line run between Long Beach and Azusa. The E line will run between Santa Monica and East LA. This will alleviate many transfers that were previously needed.

0:45 – Disney Concert Hall / Broad Museum
1:54 – Grand Ave / Bunker Hill station
10:30 – Little Tokyo Station / Arts District

San Francisco used to be my favorite city in the U.S. and Europe. But not anymore. The homeless people ruined it for me. And they have even infested the BART stations in downton San Francisco.
As a tourist I never liked L.A. because of its poor public transportation system. I'm glad they finally decided to build that underground Light Rail Transit System. I hope they will eventually connect LAX with the Light Rail Transit to downtown L.A. for the convenience of tourists and locals alike.
LA Metro stations have trash cans now? I thought they removed them all to discourage bringing food and drink into the system.
If you think that is a museum you should see the stations in St. Peterburg, Russia. Those station look like palaces.
Tried out a ride on the system on Saturday from Downtown to Azusa. My experience:
Con: one cool/rebel teen decided to make one cab his personal night club by blasting expletive-filled rap music.
Pro: I took too much delight watching people waiting in traffic in their cars when the train rode along the freeways.
love how you end it at La Cita lmaooo nice
23:40 why you get upset? That guy was absolutely right!! In a few weeks all those new stations will smell like urine and the homeless will take over. It's not being negative it's being realistic. Welcome to Los Angeles the homeless capital of the world!!!
Looks great, but the station has no future proofing due to its small size!
very happy to see the Little Tokyo construction finally complete and now an easier way to get to the broad museum as well
The issue that proponents of all of this fail to understand: they are enjoying something that someone else, who gets no benefit from it, paid for. This is the same issue with every government or college town. They are beautiful because someone else subsidized them. My son and I were recently in Washington DC. He noticed that as soon as we passed the barricades around the mall, everything got more beautiful. I understand that most people are ignorant of these subsidies of their standard of living. But, I find it immoral to live better off the back of someone else’s efforts. At the root, this is the immoral issue surrounding slavery.
Why do they have so many ambassadors instead of security guards within a month will see homeless taking over the stations and train 😑😑😑😑
Interesting that the platforms are built for 3 car train. And I can see that there are very little wiggle room on either end. SFs central subway was built for “2-car trains” but I did the math and the stations technically can fit 3-cars but it would be similar to LA’s new stations that would have the platforms right up to the ends of the trains.
Sure are a lot of employees on their cell phones.
Mexico City has never looked lovelier. It's truly one of the great cities of the world.
When I first moved to LA, the Culver City station was still a year away from opening. When the Palms station finally opened up right next to me, it was great being able to go downtown or out to Santa Monica, but the connection to little Tokyo needed too many transfers. I was really hoping for the connector to finish before I moved to the bay, but I'm super excited to ride it, and in a few years, be able to ride all the way from LAX. That'll be a game changer (I hope).
Really glad it finally goes to Little Tokyo
Damn…still no safety platform doors. They should have installed it.
"I have my own commentary; I don't need yours" I can't even … 😂
I love how you shut up that fool. Some people always find problems
While the connector station(S) will have several lines coming and going, it would be useful at other stations serving fewer lines to know the typical headway between trains. From what I understand, too often the headway in LA is unrealistic (if you want riders, as opposed to pleasing bean counters), often 40 minutes in the evening, and not necessarily great even during the day.
You’re right though, LA and SF are different and always have been in ways good and bad. Thing is, it’s never bothered LA, just SF. SF nearly destroyed itself in the middle of the last century by using LA solutions to SF problems (Freeways across SF, so suburbanites can drive right across town with no hassle!). That gave rise to our activist culture which is one of our greatest impediments to solving our problems today, as most of our activists are a lot like your nilist twit expressing typically stupid ideas like you can’t do anything until the homeless are put up in one bedroom apartments (single family homes no doubt in LA) at no cost so they can have their drug lifestyle and not have to work.
Announcement is very professional
no escalators is a huge draw back.
