LA Metro Regional Connector | 3 New Rail Stations in Downtown LA
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лип 2023
- On June 16th, 2023, LA Metro opened up its “Regional Connector” along with 3 brand new rail stations in the Downtown LA area. Those stations (Grand Ave/Bunker Hill, Historic Broadway, Little Tokyo/Arts District) will add convenience while serving thousands of passengers a day.
I was late with this video, but better late than never! 😀

man people in LA are so friendly
Cheers from San Francisco! Hope to see more projects finish
The extended A Line/Blue Line is now the longest light rail/tram line in the world. If there was the "Transit Olympics" (the actual 2028 Olympic Games [which will be in Los Angeles] are now less than five years), the A Line would win the Gold Medal with a world record.
And the line will be even longer by the time the Olympics come to LA

Amerika metro so cool so clean 👏🏻
I live in downtown, but haven't tried these new stations yet. Their elevator-only approach instead of escalators and stairs is unexpected. UPDATE: Oh, I hadn't finished watching yet. Some DO have the traditional choices. Still no plexiglass barriers to stop folks falling/jumping onto the tracks, though. I was hoping the brand new construction would have that upgrade.
The only one that doesn't have escalators is the Bunker Hill -Grand Avenue station because it's the deepest and there was no room to install escalators. The station is physically located like on a little island with three streets surrounding it. However, unlike the other stations that only have 1 or 2 elevators, this station has 6.
Did you end up taking the train replacement bus shuttle?
No. I walked back to 7th Street/Metro when I was done filming.
The only omission to your excellent vlog/UA-cam video is what happened to the original tracks and station that was in the first Little Tokyo Station?
They closed it 2020 to pretty much make room for the new Little Tokyo station.The Regional Connector was obviously the bigger, more important project, so they decided to replace the old Little Tokyo station with the new one altogether.
@@Optimusjack Coming to visit LA for my Birthday next month. Is the Western Bonaventura Hotel close to Grand Ave station?
@@thebootieloverthe Pershing Square subway station might be the closest. However, on the way you can checkout Pershing Square (under renovation), the Biltmore Hotel, and the LA Central Library which has a stunning underground atrium that is 3-4 stories in depth. Across the street from the library gardens on Figueroa is the Bonaventure. Have a great time and be safe.
They tore out the station and the tracks.. They were located caddy corner to where the new underground station is now. The old station and tracks were at ground level. It's now part of a parking lot.
@@mrxman581 Thanks for the response. Couldn't Metro have kept the tracks (or maybe a track) for an express service, skipping the (former) Little Tokyo/Arts District stop (the L Line without the underground Little Tokyo Station)?
Omg, I am weired.
Bro how 🤔 you gonna edit the train 🚆 speaker announcement ("we all ride together so please do not play loud music etc") but you didn't edit all the profanity from the conversation you had with the Florida dude you talked to about blogging??
