Welcome!

Welcome to the metrocenter blog!  I am starting this blog to provide a central source of news and information on the development of urban rail transit in Los Angeles.

Please be patient, as this blog is still under construction.

What is Metro Rail?

L.A.’s Metro Rail system was introduced to the public on July 14, 1990, with the start of Blue Line service from Long Beach to Downtown Los Angeles.  In the 20 years since, Metro Rail has expanded to serve several regions of L.A. County.  As of 2010, the system has five lines, with a total of 79 miles of track and 70 stations.
