A peek into the new Little Tokyo/Arts District Station!
This is 1 of 3 new underground light rail stations in DTLA built for our Regional Connector project.
When Connector opens, 🚊 will run btwn Santa Monica and East LA & btwn Azusa and Long Beach, sharing 5 DTLA stations.
Seems like tunnel fever is making the rounds these days...so check out our future rail tunnels under Crenshaw Blvd, Wilshire Blvd and DTLA. 🚇
We will be stepping up enforcement of our zero-tolerance policy against drugs and alcohol on our system.
Thanks to sharp-eyed Army for pointing this out to us! Unfortunately it’s not a real Metro bus stop, but you definitely don’t need #PermissiontoDance while waiting for the bus! 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻
Your K Line opens in 24 hours. Crenshaw & 54th, once upon a time & now.
