Los Angeles
The Los Angeles County Metro Rail light rail system comprises Four lines: the Green, Gold, Blue, and the Expo lines. Collectively they have 200,000 daily weekday boardings. The Blue line, in particular is the second-busiest line in the United States with 72,295 boardings. The Blue and Gold Lines run mostly at grade, with some street-running, elevated, and underground stretches in more densely populated areas. The Green Line is entirely grade separated, running in the median of I-105 and then turning southward along an elevated route. The Blue Line opened first, in 1990. The Green Line began service in 1995, the Gold Line entered service in 2003 and Expo Line began service in 2012.. The Metro currently has two extensions under construction for the Gold Line and the Expo Line and a new Crenshaw Line expected to open in 2015 connecting the lines to a LAX People Mover by the Airport.
