Description
#117: Before LA became the city of the car, we had one of the most robust public transit systems in the world. Well, that might not be coming back in the near future... But we DID just take a major step forward. LA's got some new train tracks, connecting the city from East to West and North to South through Metro's newly finished regional connector project.
Now you can get from Azusa to Long Beach, or East LA to Santa Monica, without a single transfer.
When the new tracks opened, the HTLA crew was there... not just to check out the new rails... But to race. From Boyle Heights, to the beach. One car, one train, who will win? Tune in to find out - and be sure to check out our piece on LAist.com for photos and more info about the connector.
