Man, I have been anticipating the opening of the Regional Connector since last July or August. It's hard to believe that it's opening next week. Finally can move on.
Wow! Those three stations look great! Man, I cannot wait until next week. The L.A. Metro’s 1990s vision of a “Pasadena Blue Line” will *_finally_* come true.
I think there are only 4 projects (maybe 5) that will be done by the Olympics. LAX connection Foothill A line extension Noho Pasadena BRT And full D line to Westwood. (Vermont BRT might sneak in if metro could finally decide on how to move forward)
@@ronnyrueda5926 although not as useful for where I am, I just saw the tentative 2028 completion of the east san fernando valley light rail moved to 2030, so I guess that's out the window
The A line is about to become the longest light rail line in the world, at 50 miles (80 km), surpassing the Kusttram in Belgium which is 42 miles (68 km) long.
@@ngoaini I guess it's not necessarily a good record to have from the perspective of an operator. It will be challenging to keep reliable service on such a long line, since sitting at the terminals is a big part of the way transit lines neutralize delays.
@@OntarioTrafficMan Lol, never thought of it that way. But that certainly makes sense for light rail. You can probably have a very unlucky, but otherwise perfect run with tiny delays at each stop light building up to a 5-10 minute delay by the terminus station.
I looked on the website and I couldn't find one either. It's wild that they still don't have an updated system map online less than a week before the lines start running in service
@@OntarioTrafficMan Why in the world would they change the map before they change the service? Who would explain to the tourists who are there only for three days that the service that they were trying to take won't exist until a week after they leave LA?
@@TohaBgood2 You know it's possible to have more than one map on a website, right? You put up the new one under the title "effective June 16" and you leave the current one there until the 16th.
With this the A becomes the longest tram/light rail line in the world at 49.5 miles, exceeding the current record holder, the Belgian Coast Tram from Knokke to De Panne, by 7.5 miles.
LA Metro only has a week left to change the final destination signs on the A (Blue), E (Expo), and L (Gold) line stations. A Line (Blue): "To Downtown LA 🔵 (A)" ➡️ "To Azusa 🔵 (A)" E Line (Expo): "To Downtown LA 🔵 (E)" ➡️ "To East Los Angeles 🟡 (E)" and "To Santa Monica 🔵 (E)" ➡️ "To Santa Monica 🟡 (E)" L Line (Gold) South: "To Azusa 🟡" ➡️ "To Santa Monica 🟡 (E)" and "To East Los Angeles 🟡" ➡️ "To East Los Angeles 🟡 (E)" L Line (Gold) North: "To Azusa 🟡" ➡️ "To Azusa 🔵 (A)" and "To East Los Angeles 🟡" ➡️ "To Long Beach 🔵 (A)" Also, LA Metro only has a week left to recolor the E Line dots from aqua blue to gold in every E Line station.
@@electro_sykes Even if they did not go directly to Disneyland, it should go to Norwalk Metrolink Station, then hop alongside Orange County line. Stops at Buena Park, Fullerton, and Anaheim Metrolink Stations. The final stop should be Santa Ana Station because that is where the far-in-the-future Santa Ana line will end up. The Santa Ana line is already being designed by Metro but will only go to Cerritos. I think Orange County will need to pay for the Orange County part of it which will end in Santa Ana. At Anaheim Station, Disney could pick up from the Anaheim Metrolink Station to their parks only about a mile away. Second idea: Extend the Red Line north and south. Here are my thoughts. One line that supports Santa Clarita, Studio City, and Anaheim. So, imagine being at Union Station. You hop on the Red Line which takes you to Universal Studios (this already exists, of course). You get tired of it, so you get on the Red Line going North-west. From North Hollywood Station, it stops at Burbank Airport, then go at-grade/above grade along the Metrolink Palmdale lines stopping at San Fernando, the terminate at the Metrolink Santa Clarita Station. Six Flags Magic Mountain can provide shuttles to their theme park from this station. Now on the South-east side of things. The Metro Red Line continues south along the river with two stops along the way, follow the Metrolink Orange County line to Norwalk. The Green Line (C) can be extended to Norwalk Station Metrolink. From Norwalk, it makes stops at Valley View Ave, Buena Park Metrolink, Fullerton Metrolink, La Palma Ave, Anaheim Metrolink, a few more stops, then to Santa Ana Metrolink. A bonus would be to hop south on Hwy 55, go below grade, stop near the John Wayne Airport, get back on Hwy 55, above grade, terminate somewhere near Newport Beach. Orange County can provide a trolley-something from Long Beach Transit Mall and Belmont Shore (LA County funded), then through Seal Beach, Sunset Beach, two stops in Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and terminate at San Clemente Metrolink. In Long Beach, East Broadway for westbound and 2nd St for eastbound can be used, then combine at 2nd St through Belmont Shore, to PCH. then PCH all the way south-east. Because PCH is a highway, I do not know the laws for something like this, but it would be cool. Eventually, the line can continue west from Long Beach Transit Mail through Terminal Island to San Pedro to meet up with the Silver Line. This will cover the southern beaches in LA County and Orange County. I think Metro should build a fun trolley system from Malibu to Santa Monica somehow connecting to the Expo Line in Santa Monica, continue south-east through Venice, Marina Del Rey, connect with the LAX People Mover and K Line stops. The south end of the Green Line will cover the south end beyond the current Redondo Beach metro stop. This extension is already in the planning. With the Red Line idea, this will provide one seat access to Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios Hollywood, Knott's Berry Farm, and Disneyland. All four theme parks will need to provide their own shuttles. Metro should not provide direct access, BUT they should be able to provide one-mile access. Let the theme park do it for themselves in the last mile. I got thoughts and if funding were no issue, this can be implemented.
Went last Saturday ...all over the place. Loved Little Tokyo. (Took my grandson)...Thx for the infor and the free riding on Saturday 6/17. We had a blast!
Looking at this, although good, I hope Pico also be underground too, also the three stations down the Washington Boulevard (Grand/LATTC, San Pedro, Washington) especially since WSBA is coming too... 🤔🤔🤔
I’m really excited about this, but we should aim higher. If you look at Tokyo or Seoul or New York it’s obvious there’s a lot we can do. Every little step counts though!
Disneyland is in Orange County. It is highly unlikely that any LAMTA rail system will go into Orange County any time soon. Likewise, OCTA doesn't have the money or political will to build such a thing.
@@ronnyrueda5926 they can easilly just dig a short 200m tunnel to an exsisting freight rail corridor and convert that to the C line all the way to disney/Anaheim, With an Underground Station built below the Car Park at Disneyland
@@ronnyrueda5926 it would be better for tourists as they won't have to rely on the bus and would also be stress-free for the parents, because instead of having to drive the kids their and then find a park, they can simply park up at a Metro Station and the Family would be able to travel into Disneyland stress-free from there
I wish you guys would upload a real-time version of this. I really want to take in not just the stations, but the tunnels as well, especially the junction at Tokyo station which goes by too quickly in your sped up video.
Can’t wait for this Friday to open the new connector. By the way, say farewell to the Gold Line naming since it’s retiring. Now it’ll be Blue and Expo Lines from now on.
The gold line stations going north turned into blue line stations and the expo line stations became gold line stations… R.I.P. Expo Line (at least the name).
If only the train actually moved that fast. After it comes out of the tunnel at Pico, there’s a stretch where it waits interminably for traffic lights. How is it possible that these lights aren’t coordinated with the train so they turn green when the train arrives? On my 50 minute ride to Long Beach I waste about 15 minutes waiting for traffic lights.
There are environmental reasons for that, believe it or not. Many modern cars shut down while idling, particularly electric and hybrid, but even some non-hybrid gas powered cars. But when the Blue and Expo Lines were built, that technology basically didn't exist. So, the trains can't have strong priority, because that would cause too many cars to idle waiting for the train, and therefore pollute while idling. So, too pass the environmental impact reports, they had to give cars a measure of priority. The fact that this makes the train slower and therefore discourages people to use it isn't factored in to said environmental reports.
The regional connector should also plan a long term solution to extend to dodger stadium. Instead of the gondolas planned. Probably before the 2028 Olympics.
The most logical thing to do would be extend the WSAB there, since it's already planned to terminate in a northwards alignment at Union Station. I say extend it from there to Dodger Stadium, then Echo Park, then further north to Glendale to connect to the new BRT they're building up there.
@@AdamFaruqi That configuration would probably be super expensive because a lot of it would have to be underground. The main problem with Dodger Stadium is it's located on a hill surrounded by freeways. The gondolas are a good solution for those types of locations which can be built for much less.
@@troysierra5228 It's logical. Gondolas are used around the world to connect places at significant height differences within a relative short distance or to cross complicated terrain.
This project will make my life exponentially easier, all those people running & scurrying in downtown will be done! 1 ride to LA Live, 1720, Florence, Compton and Terrace Theater, no transfer to Grand Park, Disney Hall, or Moroccan Lounge. and stationary transfer to Coliseum or the beach (1 train from East LA). To think this would've been done 20 years ago with the 2003 Gold Line if it hadn't been for the smear campaign in the 1990s by SNOOTY people in my home area (Mt. Washington, Pasadena, La Canada-Flintridge, South Pasadena, San Marino, Highland Park) causing a 9 year tunnel ban 1998-2007 for the real purpose of not wanting people from Compton & South LA getting there easily.
The L stations from Union Station to Azusa will become part of the A line. From Pico Aliso to Atlantic will become the E line and the E line will be come gold
This service pattern seems ridiculous. If I am in Claremont, for instance, and I need to go to LAX, I have to transfer from Metrolink's San Bernardino Line to the A Line, from the A Line to the E Line, from the E Line to the K Line, and from the K Line to the airport people-mover. That's five separate trains and four transfers! Astoundingly, the E Line doesn't connect directly to L.A. Union Station.
Currently, I catch the L Train from its southern terminus to its northern Terminus to get to Work. In the future, I will now have to change trains. Thanks, Metro, well planned 😡🤬👿💀😭🤡
@@ronnyrueda5926 Still, there is a small minority of people who will have to change trains that didn't have to before this project began. A much larger number will change trains less or not at all, however.
@@Geotpf it's ok, my friend now also works in the same area, so me and him just Carshare nowadays, which is really more convenient getting around LA than having to rely on the Metro.
When it was prpposed, a lot MTA supporters asked why waste money? A lot MTA supporters asked what does it connect? It doesn't connect any region. Without this, connecting to other rails were not issues. Many ardent MTA supporters wander ? The money could have used somewhere. MTA is very good in misleading public the useless rails that will get people around. MTA has failed to connect people from train stations in nearby neighborhoods. MTA wasted the money on this stupid project just to appease the selfish car lover train supporters.
Totally agree , it's been barely a month and every single day there is a 20 minute delay on A/E lines , it really screwed up a lot of regular commuters including myself that rely on it for work. Personally I didn't mind taking the red or purple line and getting off on 7th St or union station and walk a couple of minutes to the other train line, but hey, they had to spend $1.8 billion on 1.9 miles and it still went 355 million over budget somehow, and worst is as you mentioned, it doesn't really add anything new to the LA metro transit system.
Man, I have been anticipating the opening of the Regional Connector since last July or August. It's hard to believe that it's opening next week. Finally can move on.

It will open in three additional phases. The first of the new phases should open late next year.
first phase opens next year, second phase opens in 2025, final phase opens in 2027, one year before the Olympics
I heard this has one of the deepest stations? Which one? Also, does this go above or under the existing red/purple line tunnel?
Bunker Hill is very deep because it is on, well, a hill.
The Grand Ave/Bunker Hill station is the deepest in the LA Metro at 120 feet and it goes below those existing tunnels.
Usually underground junctions (next to Little Tokyo) are grade separated due to visibility issues. Hopefully, this isn't a problem waiting to happen.
