Great video! I ride the LA Metro rail transit system to help me get around the LA area when I visit LA. I like riding it to help reduce having to pay for expensive parking or having to pay for uber or worrying about finding a parking space. Also I like on how the LA metro rail system runs efficiently. Also I'm excited that LA Metro is expanding to build more stations around the LA area. Also I like on how it is easy to afford going on riding the LA Metro rail system.
Very good video showing some of the stations and lines on the LA Metro. Just used it today from East LA to Hollywood to go see a musical at the Montalban theater. We got back on the train at Hollywood and Vine around 9:30pm and I was pleasantly surprised how many people were using the LA Metro. Many of the train cars were standing room only. Which I didn't expect on a Sunday night. Thanks.
@@Commander-leo well I certainly don’t see why. I knew nothing about their transit before going down there and throwing myself on a train to downtown and I had such a blast and everything was so convenient. Did you know Metro fare caps EVERYTHING at $5 a day and $17 a week????
@@EastsideTransit LA’s light rail is similar to Link, but it streetruns a lot more. It has decent signal priority, though sometimes it’s a little slow, compared to Link where we don’t have very good preemption in Rainier Valley yet (but we do on BelRed). LA squeezes as much speed as they can out of the trains, speeding up as quick as they can only to have to slow down for a sharp curve right after, whereas Link tends to maintain a consistent speed when possible. Link slows down more for curves, LA goes fast through them all. The onboard announcements for Link are nice and simple, but LA has more information in them (except for the side of the doors). Link is fully an honor system, but on some stations, LA has turnstiles. Link is currently distance fares with no cap for riding again, though it’s soon to be flat fares and we hope it will be capped like T Line is, whereas in LA, Metro only lets you pay a maximum of $5 a day, and $17 a week, which is amazing. As for LA’s subway, it’s fully underground, much longer platforms, goes a lot faster, and overall it’s just magic, and I feel that it’s better than Link. When we up our frequencies and gain full signal preemption I think I might prefer Link to the subway, but I do slightly prefer Link over the light rails. I think there’s lessons to be learned for Link, though.
I didn't know what "lfg" meant but I got the comments context and knew what it was. Anyways, LA should build more subways rather than light rail. Big fan of the former (dat timing I found this recommended so I could see how lrt is like and u replied just 27m ago for a 9hr old comment, so I could rpeply early.)
@@hnitsua yes I really like the subways, but it just boils down to trains in tunnels in my opinion, so I wouldn’t mind more subway lines, but if they build more light rail in tunnels, I’m fine with that
“Boils down to the trains in the tunnels”? Also Rmtransit made a vid abt not putting lrt in tunnels (more expensive infrastructure for lower capacity trains). They shouldn’t underestimate the capacity. Also elevated trains would b way better than tunneled ones too, but it's unfortunate nimbys miss the point that having a view from the air is awesome!.
