California Transit

Los Angeles Subway

This section deals with California only.  California has become very big for transit over the past 10~15 years. The oldest, and largest system belongs to San Francisco & Los Angeles has proven that if you build rail transit, they will come!

When visiting the City by the Bay that you also stop by nearby San Jose and close by Sacramento for transit. And of course one must make a special trip in Southern California to San Diego.
