LA rail extension great for beachgoers

 

Los Angeles has extended the Expo line of its Metro system out to the beach, a big boost for commuters, vacationers and local weekend relaxers. It turns what can be up to a 2-hour drag in traffic from downtown to Santa Monica beach into a 45 minute ride.

The new line extension opened Friday, May 20, so this is the first weekend for the service. which added 7 stations and over 6.5 miles to the line, which runs until 3 am. At $1.75 each way, it's a bargain: at current gas prices, it could easily cost more to drive and even more to park.

The best part of every trip is realizing that it has upset your expectations

This will really help on time. As a kid,  I took the bus from Santa Monica to Downtown LA a lot and it took forever but it was to be one of the most interesting rides anywhere. It goes through such diverse neighborhoods it almost doesn't seem real.

If you want a thing done, ask a busy man.
