Lived in LA (or surrounding area) for a decade. One of the reasons I wanted to get out was because of how shit it is to get to/from literally anywhere in the city.
This would definitely help things, but no single train line is going to fix the problem. LA is way too huge and sprawling, and requires a large network of rail to become a viable alternative to cars. And there’s way too many NIMBYs with that Hollywood money in key areas of town to make that happen.
Well good news there then. LA and the rest of the valley have a huge amount of transit plans moving forward. This video covers it really well.
The same youtuber has a great video breaking down the above project as well. He recommends alt 4. Huge ridership, fast trip, modern stations that tie into current networks well and the best cost/rider ratio. Average trip time is under 20 min end to end, which beats a car even if the rode was impossibly empty.
That’s great news! …but I’m never moving back. Been in San Diego for a decade now and love it here
