Three new rail stations open at noon on June 16th

We're celebrating! At noon on June 16th, we're opening three shiny new Metro rail stations in downtown LA, marking the completion of the Regional Connector Transit Project. 

Our new stations mean direct access to more destinations for work or play than ever before. And more transfer-free rides between Azusa and Long Beach, and East LA and Santa Monica — connecting our riders to the places they want to be.

Ride Metro bus, rail, Metro Bikes, and Metro Micro for free during opening weekend. See below for details.

Please come on out and have a ride — or rides! — on us. It's easy to reach a variety of destinations via Metro. To plan a trip on your phone or computer, popular and easy tools include Google Maps, Apple Maps, the Transit app, the Moovit app and metro.net. 

What to Expect: Rail Service Changes

The New A Line — Azusa to Long Beach via DTLA: When new service opens at noon on June 16th, the A Line will provide a transfer-free ride between Long Beach and Azusa, via three shiny new downtown stations.

The New E Line — Santa Monica to East LA via DTLA: At noon on June 16th, the E Line will change to a new gold color, and will provide faster, transfer-free rides between Santa Monica and East LA. The E Line will deliver you to the Santa Monica Pier, Disney Hall and other DTLA attractions, and vibrant shops and restaurants in East LA.

So long, L (and other important changes to note): At noon on June 16th, the part of the current L Line between Little Tokyo/Arts District Station and APU/Citrus College Station will become part of the A Line. The part of the L Line between Little Tokyo/Arts District Station and Atlantic Station will become part of the E Line. The color for this part of the line will remain gold. 

And good news: once the new service opens, the L Line Bus Shuttle will go away. The new A Line will connect Union Station and Little Tokyo/Arts District Station.
