Metro trains, buses, and bike-share are free today through Sunday. (The E combined the former Expo Line and Eastside Gold Line.)
The E Line now run from Santa Monica to East Los Angeles - 22.5 miles.(The A combined the former Blue Line and Foothill Gold Line.) According to Metro, it's the longest light-rail line in the world, and it will be even longer when construction extending the terminus to Pomona finishes in a couple of years. The A Line now runs all the way from Long Beach to Azusa - 49.5 miles.The newly connected light rail lines through downtown are: are: Little Tokyo/Arts District, Historic Broadway, and Grand Av Arts/Bunker Hill. This connectivity saves transit riders a great deal of time, by eliminating the wait time for connecting trains. Trips in and through Central L.A., trips that used to involve one or two transfers will be one-seat rides, with no transfers. The new facility doesn't look like much on a map, but it is making a big difference for Angelenos.
The $1.8 billion 1.9-mile long project ties together three existing Metro rail lines, adding three new downtown stations. Earlier today, Metro opened its long-anticipated new Regional Connector subway project.
