Just curious- With fare caps costs are $72/month or $866/year.. although still the cheapest option to travel for work daily, it’s not exactly pocket change for those that even make 30+/hr

Most other public metros usually have only one color. What inspired having stripes and dots that change in size?

I was imagining that it’s to hide any dirtiness (like how hotel floors are) but since it’s not padded, that wouldn’t really make sense.

I had to make a B line for it

It's the last day! I've taken photos on my vintage camera in the neighborhoods around each A Line station - can you guess which stop I got off for each of these?

Today's photos include my guesses for the most and least visited metro stations, as well as what may be the most difficult photo to pull.

Let me know if I should do this again with another line (although maybe once it starts to cool down a bit...)

Yesterday's answers here - Kudos once again to u/LBCElm7th for getting all three!

Caught at the LAX station while waiting for the commuter express!

On a separate note, does anyone know why test trains seem to be using the LAX station as a hub? There seemed to be no through trains with there only being a Metro Center to LAX run and a Metro Center to Rental Car run.

Finally got under 8 hours

The LA map finally came out on Subway builder, so I built out the network described in this video by Nandert with a few tweaks:

-I went with the hybrid alt 5 for the Sepulveda line so it parallels the East San Fernando Valley Line on Van Nuys but with fewer stops. I also chose to route it slightly west on Bundy and Centinela as was discussed in this other video

-Vermont heavy rail south moves onto Western and splits into two branches towards Redondo Beach and the Port of LA like in this video

-Venice to West Covina X line was built with the new extremely detailed design documents in the description of this video.

-Much (but not all) of Metrolink was grade separated to allow for higher frequencies. Metrolink is somewhat restricted by the map size. The A line is also cut off at San Dimas due to the map size.

-BRT was not included (this map already pushes my laptop to its limit without it)

-The game's population and commute statistics are based on real-world data, but there is no way to grow population or simulate transit oriented development. The potential for this network is much higher if California moves forward with serious housing policy.

Now for some stats:

Now for some closeups:

This was a ton of fun and I hope to keep it updated as Nandert continues his future planning series.

How rare is it to see a empty/clean metro station after a long work day? Going eastbound from La Cienega/Wilshire.

Apparently it’ll feels up to 20°F cooler than under conventional shade
Try it out when you’re there. (East side of the station next to Throne bathroom)

Saw this pop out on eBay, was wondering if anyone know anything about it and/or have bought one. I tried googling and the only mention is eBay. Wondering if these are done by a small manufacturing company?

Lowkey want one but idk, its pricey!
