- A quick explanation of Los Angeles Metro's unusual bus rapid transit line. How did the G Line come about, and what does its future hold?

This is just a prime example of a line that functionally makes no sense not being rail. At least Metro recognizes that it absolutely should be rail and there is a pathway for it to be converted, but so much money could have been saved just by building elevated metro rail 20 years ago instead of building this halfway bus/train thing. Still, buses and stations all look high quality, and 6 minute headways are pretty good by American standards. I can see why the line is busy, it's reliable and seems like a pleasant ride.
This really should be rail
This is why it should not be legal for a vocal minority of NIMBY people to file lawsuit to stop governments from building proper public transport. It needs to be made illegal for people to block proper pubic transport projects from being built.
Many people don’t know this, but the G line is actually undergoing a conversion to switch it to light rail in around 30 or 40 years. That is the reason that they are closing most of the at-grade crossings, and replacing them with aerial bridges.
The should have built Light Rail with 3-4 over/underpasses. I rode it.
At the time of the LA Metro G Line planning political pressure opposed to light rail led to a 1991 law (SB 211) prohibiting any rail other than subway in the corridor. This law was not repealed until 2014. The busway was a way to get around this prohibition. Building two overpasses on the bus line to light rail specifications allows for the possibility of eventual conversion to rail but that is a project for future generations.
Minneapolis / St. Paul is building a very large BRT network. We have 6 BRT lines now and more on the way in the next few years!
"This is the train to court square 23rd street,The next stop is court square 23rd street" STAND CLEAR OF THE CLOSING DOORS PLEASE!
This absolutely should be rail and needs to be WAY faster. 18 miles should have some express trains and be able to go that route in 15-20 minutes. Transit will work when it is faster than driving. And it can be.
BRT is basically
Good Video . The Metro Orange Line will be converted into rail in 2060 .
Mississauga transitway has so much potential. This is better but it should be a lrt fr..

The G Line is my SFV love. It is seriously the best LA Metro line in terms of frequency. It has a lot of missed opportunities sure, namely I wish the NoHO transfer was more convenient to the B Line, that certain station decisions were better made (Sepulveda and White Oak), and that the G Line was also open for more through routed services (I can easily see an argument for express buses on Reseda and Van Nuys for example, being through routed to NoHo). If the line does get converted to rail, I do hope that its as the B line, most of the riders I see use it to get to NoHo to transfer to the B Line (granted that tends to be for the line from NoHo to Van Nuys, maybe at most Reseda)
Those aren’t faregates at the stations but rather stanchions
Definitely screaming for rail lol
They aren’t even planning on extending the red line as far as I know, they want to convert it to light rail
WHERE IS DCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
