LA is huge - 50% larger in area than NYC - but most Angelenos aren't spending their days traveling between Chatsworth and San Pedro anymore than NYers are traveling between from the Rockaways to the Bronx. Most commutes are in the 5-10 mile range and people tend to spend to stay in their local bubble outside of that.When the D extension opens it will connect UCLA/Westwood, Century City, Beverly Hills, mid-city/museums, Koreatown, and downtown. It will allow worker bees on the eastside to get to jobs on the westside in half the time of driving. That's not enough to depend on transit like NYC but it does connect a ton of people to a ton of jobs. By the time that heavy rail connects the valley to the westside in 2032, that connects a lot more people using fast trains (65 mph with long distances between many stops), I think that LA will be in the second tier of US transit. Behind DC but even or ahead of Chicago. |
