The Metro is finally reaching all areas on the Westside. And, according to Metro estimates, the Expo Line continues to exceed expectations.

A Few Numbers

Weekday ridership – Now over 55,000

Busiest weekend day – Sunday

 Why the Ridership?

There are many reasons why the Expo Line’s numbers are high.

• Trains now arrive more frequently during rush hour
• Service to the Westside attracts drivers that used to commute by car

The Coming Purple Line Extension

The Purple Line Extension, approved in 2008, is now under construction as well. This new line will bring the Metro from the Wilshire/Western terminal through more of the Westside, including:

• Beverly Hills
• Century City
• Westwood

The new extension will speed up travel into LA. It’s expected to take about 19 minutes to travel from the Century City Station to the heart of downtown L.A.
