it looks like the vermont brt line is supposedly opening earlier than expected since the federal transit administration allocated $149.9 million for the brt line

also if you look at the photo, there’s a possibility that the vermont brt line might be called the “R Line” and the color might be a lavender color

since the vermont brt line might be called the “R Line,” then that means maybe the noho - pasadena brt line might use the “L Line” with the expo blue color and the east san fernando lrt line might use the “Q Line” since M, N, O, and P aren’t allowed to be used

there’s a good chance that after the metro d line subway extension to westwood is complete, the vermont brt line and noho - pasadena brt line might open before the olympics cause there supposedly going to open in 2028

here are links about the vermont brt line in case anyone is interested

i saw this screen at the hallway in union station and noticed that it looks outdated

is there a way on how i can get ahold of someone at union station?

if you look at the metro rail screen, the metro a line shows up as “metro gold line”, the metro b line shows up as “metro red line”, and metro d line shows up as “metro purple line”

the metro rail screen should show up as “metro a line”, “metro b line”, and “metro d line”

another thing is that if you look at the metro rail & busway screen, the metro d line’s end of station is wilshire / western station when it should be updated to wilshire / la cienega station

every time there’s a new la metro station or line, metrolink needs to keep up to date with la metro’s map cause there map is so outdated

is there a way on how we can get ahold of metrolink’s customer support cause they never respond back to me

for example on metrolink’s map it shows up as this

a line - apu/citrus college station ~ downtown long beach station when it should be pomona north station ~ downtown long beach station

c line - norwalk station ~ redondo beach station when it should be norwalk station ~ lax/metro transit center

d line - wilshire/western station ~ union station when it should be wilshire/la cienega station ~ union station

k line - expo/crenshaw station ~ westchester/veterans station when it should be expo/crenshaw station ~ redondo beach station

EDIT - i want to give a huge shoutout to u/anothercar cause i didn’t know metrolink keeps up to date with la metro on updating their map

i’m glad that it’s included on the metrolink schedule brochure but not on their website

someone here needs to ahold of metrolink customer support and tell them to update their map on the website

if you’re at la verne / fairplex station, there’s a foothill transit shuttle with the line 67. it’s a special shuttle where people at la verne / fairplex station can take to get to the pomona fairplex for the la county fair. that shuttle runs from thursday to saturday

also if you’re at pomona north station or la verne / fairplex station, you can take foothill transit bus line 197 and exit at white & mckinley

i’m hoping that the transit app will be updated again for the pomona north metro a line station cause ik there’s foothill transit bus route line 492, 291, and 197 nearby the station and it’ll be a great addition if they get added in the transit app so people will know that there are some foothill transit bus route lines near the pomona north metro a line station

in case anyone doesn’t know, i took this photo at union station and it shows the upcoming commemorative tap cards that union station will release in the upcoming months

the world earth day 2026 tap card and asian/pacific american heritage 2026 tap card have been released so it looks like soon, there’ll be a caribbean american heritage 2026 tap card and ride with pride 2026 tap card releasing soon

when i was at pomona north station and san dimas station earlier, i noticed this

the tall fare gates on the eastern end of pomona north station are open but the tall fare gates on the western end of pomona north station are closed. the san dimas station tall fare gates are open too

did la metro forget to close the tall fare gates on the eastern end of pomona north station and the tall fare gates at san dimas station now that the la metro d line subway extension phase 1 celebration is over?

for context - i was at wilshire / western station and i was waiting for the second or third subway coming from union station heading towards wilshire / la cienega station

i’ve been so busy lately and i finally have time now that i can post the photos i took from the d line subway extension phase 1 on friday

here’s to paving the way for less congestion, better public transportation all across la county and years to come!🥳🎉🎊

i’m excited for phase 2 and phase 3 when their celebration is ready!

i saw a metro d line subway extension phase 1 tap card at a kiosk in azusa downtown station so i decided to go get one and this is for anyone else who doesn’t have this tap card yet

i had to crop the photo cause there were “those type of people” near me😭

EDIT - it’s on the downtown long beach platform

it looks like when you now look at la verne / fairplex station on the transit app, it now shows up as “la verne / fairplex station” instead of “LA Verne / Fairplex Station”

another thing is that if you look at la verne / fairplex station, you’ll notice that there’s a bus with the line 67. that’s foothill transit bus route line 67 and it’s a special bus where people at la verne / fairplex station can take to get to the pomona fairplex for the la county fair. that bus runs from thursday to saturday

i’m hoping that the transit app will be updated again for the pomona north metro a line station cause ik there’s foothill transit bus route line 492, 291, and 197 nearby the station and it’ll be a great addition if they get added in the transit app so people will know that there are some foothill transit bus route lines near the pomona north metro a line station

also, i checked the transit app and “wilshire / la brea station” and “wilshire / la cienega station” no longer show up as “Wilshire / LA Brea Station” and “Wilshire / LA Cienega Station”

it looks like when you now look at la/verne fairplex station on the transit app, it now shows up as “la/verne fairplex station” instead of “LA Verne/Fairplex Station”

hopefully the transit app can fix this same issue with “wilshire/la brea station” and “wilshire/la cienega station”

EDIT - i just checked the transit app and “wilshire/ la brea station” and “wilshire/ la cienega station” no longer show up as “Wilshire/ LA Brea Station” and “Wilshire/ LA Cienega Station”

now this is a certified hood classic

i’d love it if la metro can put this song onto other streaming platforms besides soundcloud since it’s already uploaded on there

when i was at apu/citrus college station this morning, i noticed this sign

i noticed that the throne restroom was moved to azusa downtown station cause azusa downtown station never had one. it’s also probably so most homeless people or literally anyone else can just use the throne restroom instead of using the restroom at target

it would be nice if la metro can install another throne restroom at apu/citrus college station cause i always see a decent amount of people exiting at that station, especially during rush hour when i’m heading back towards pomona

when i arrived at the pomona north metro a line station earlier today in the afternoon, i noticed this cpp bronco shuttle stop sign

now, cpp students, faculty, and staff will have multiple ways for them to get to cpp by taking public transportation

they can either take the bronco shuttle stop from the pomona north metro a line station, bronco shuttle stop from the pomona north metrolink station, foothill transit bus route 295 from the san dimas metro a line station, and the foothill transit silver streak bus from montclair transcenter station and its multiple stops depending on what city or area you live in
