Metro is increasing frequencies on B (Red) and D (Purple) subway lines that run in central LA, Hollywood and the western San Fernando Valley – and tentatively on all light-rail lines.
Some of the most rider common complaints and transit-related social media rants are spurred by the long wait times for LA Metro subways and light-rail trains.
Where the two subway lines are combined, between LA’s Union Station and the Wilshire/Vermont Station, riders will see a train every six minutes, an improvement from every eight minutes, he added. “I think it is a huge quality of life benefit. It will save lots of time for tens of thousands of Metro riders,” said Joe Linton, editor of StreetsblogLA, speaking about running more trains on the B and D subways. Linton, who lives in Koreatown, rides Metro rail two or three times a week.
The agency experienced a 15% increase in ridership in July, as compared to July 2022, marking the eighth straight month of year-over-year growth, Metro reported. But Metro still needs to hire and train more rail operators in order to guarantee an increase in train frequencies for the four light-rail lines, the A, C, E and K, he said. The addition of more light-rail trains, resulting in shorter wait times for passengers, may be phased in line by line starting sometime in December, he said.. “The money is not the challenge. It is the operating numbers,” he said. “We are waiting to confirm we have sufficient operators to do that.
