People are waiting two hours to get into Union Station’s tour of Railroad cars and Equipment at the Train Festival.

Contrary to what the auto and oil lobby tells you, people love trains. #rail #train #Amtrak #hsr #Metrolink #MetroLosAngeles #LosAngeles

Los Angeles Metro ridership grows for 8th consecutive month. See, people do ride public transit in Los Angeles. I'm one of them.

My thought is to give it an officially designated letter like the others so we can refer to the coming "___ Line"?

You know you are in the heart of the gayborhood when the Metro station signage has rainbow branding.

I expect nothing less when #MetroLosAngeles extends the K-Line north to West Hollywood and Hollywood. #Madrid #transit

It doesn't matter how much you expand your public transit network, if your city is adding car lanes at the same time, that makes you a Red Queen running hard but moving nowhere. #Transportation #PublicTransit #MetroLosAngeles

Here are the new #MetroLosAngeles simpler fare rates with fare capping starting July 1st.

Riding the K (Pink) Line. I look forward to riding this being extended north to Mid-City West, WeHo, and Hollywood someday. Wonder if we can get it to Fairfax & Wilshire by the Olympics. #MetroLosAngeles #LosAngeles #Transit #SoCalTransit

L.A. Opens Its New Light-Rail Link - Known as the Regional Connector, the link allows riders to travel from East Los Angeles all the way to Santa Monica without transferring. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/23/us/los-angeles-transit-regional-connector.html #transit #MetroLosAngeles #BetterLosAngeles

LA Metro is capping its fares at $5 a day - #MetroLosAngeles #transit is rolling out a new “the more you ride, the more you save” fare structure on July 1. https://www.timeout.com/los-angeles/news/metro-is-capping-its-fares-at-5-a-day-060723

What Los Angeles Transit Could Learn From Charlotte https://commonedge.org/what-los-angeles-transit-could-learn-from-charlotte/ #CharlotteNC #LosAngeles #MetroLosAngeles #transit

Riding the #MetroLosAngeles Downtown Regional Connector. Awesome new station for Bunker Hill. Congratulations, Metro!

It will be great to ride Metrorail to Mid-City West, #WeHo, and #Hollywood when the K-Line is extended north in the future. #LosAngeles #Transit #SoCalTransit

Happy Regional Connector Day! Three new stations open today with new run-through service downtown. The A-line (blue) will be extended to Montclair and the E-line (gold) will be extended to Whittier.
#MetroLosAngeles #LosAngeles #transit #socaltransit

Metro Los Angeles' Regional Connector opens in two weeks. It has the potential to be a transformative project, allowing run-through service without needing to transfer downtown. The Link Union Station project has the potential of being similarly transformative for Metrolink, enabling run-through service as we move from the concept of "commuter rail" to "regional rail".

For my transit peers.

Transit Unplugged is a great podcast, and this episode was great.

Metro Los Angeles has announced that the regional connector will open June 16th. This will allow A (Blue) trains to run between Long Beach and Azusa (eventually Montclair) and E (Expo) trains to run between Santa Monica and East L.A. (eventually Whitter). Three new stations will open Downtown. This will be transformative to mobility in the region. #MetroLosangeles #transit #socaltransit #LosAngeles
