LA Subway |
The subway may never see it original goals, but
still provides a vital link in this region of the automobile. The
stations, particularly on the newer North Hollywood extension are
wonderful. Many have great artistic designs. The Subway is becoming a
tourist attraction of it own.
There are 2 lines. The B Line (was the Red Line) starts at North
Hollywood, joins the D Line (was Purple) line at Vermont for the run to Union
Station. The D Line line starts at Wilshire/Western and runs to Union
Station.
An extension of the D Line to the west is under
construction. New subway cars are on order to replace the extisting cars.
It is a fun ride!
