Description
The Los Angeles Metro Rail is an urban rail transit system serving Los Angeles County, California in the United States. It consists of six lines, including four light rail lines (the A, C, E and K lines), and two rapid transit (known locally as a subway) lines (the B and D lines) serving 101 stations. It connects with the Metro Busway bus rapid transit system (the G and J lines), the Metrolink commuter rail system, and several Amtrak lines. Metro Rail is owned and operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro), starting service in 1990.
It has been extended significantly since that time and several further extensions are either in the works or being considered. In 2022, the system had a ridership of 57,299,800, or about 189,100 per weekday as of the second quarter of 2023.
Los Angeles had two previous rail transit systems, the Pacific Electric Red Car and Los Angeles Railway Yellow Car lines, which operated between the late 19th century and the 1960s. The Metro Rail system uses many of their former rights-of-way, and thus can be considered their indirect successor.
