Red Line
Metro Rail’s Red Line is super, smooth, safe, streamlined and today [June 13], the ride was free. Los Angeles can feel justly proud.
I’m one of thousands of passengers who enjoyed the 19-minute excursion from Hollywood and Vine to Union Station, stopping to view stations down the line.
Too bad Metro Rail didn’t operate Metro Link trains [during opening] weekend. That certainly would have eased the journey for San Fernando Valley dwellers. As it was, I traveled on three buses from Tarzana to reach the new station at Hollywood and Vine. I’ll eagerly await the opening of the next piece of track, confident it will reach Tarzana during my lifetime.
