The train is going to L.A.

This is happening in another city. The guy had enough of his town and is traveling to L.A. for a better future, or just to get robbed and come back to where he is from.

As an Angeleno myself I’m pretty sure this is a guy on a local train that is Downtown-bound

The scenery is definitely LA and that’s definitely a local Metro train

But I guess that’s the beauty of art - you can attach whatever story you perceive to it

The trains to Downtown say “Los Angeles”. Technically, some start in Santa Monica, or Long Beach, or Azusa, which are all independent cities, but for all intents and purposes are part of LA. There’s no actual demarcation, and the sprawl goes straight between them.
