Riding the D in Los Angeles: city hopes new subway stations will be game changer

God it's frustrating how slow making these rail transits has been. The D line was literally planned out back in the 1960s and it took this long? I understand the plethora of problems the engineers faced when completing this. But I find it funny that once the World Cup was planned to be in LA, that's when LA leadership expedited all the legal and corporate hurdles in order to make sure we don't have another carmagetton

Coming from Germany I found it funny how tiny the subway lines are in major cities in the US compared to medium-sized cities here.

I always thought Germany was a country centered a lot around cars but it was so much more extreme in the states; seemed not possible to live in a city(!) without a car.

Author delivers the lolz:

“Friday’s grand opening was full of fanfare and big D energy.”

I've lived in LA and I've lived in Scandinavia. And car life sucks. So good luck and Godspeed, Los Angeles.

Los Angeles just needs buses that come through frequently enough to obviate the need to check the schedule. Also dynamic bus routing, which would reduce the total number of buses required for this.

Ride the D? Wow
