Los Angeles Metro Rail

Los Angeles Metro Rail

Metro operates the city's rail network, the Metro Rail. It is composed of four above-ground light rail systems (Gold Line, Blue Line, Green Line and Silver Line) and one underground subway with two branches (Red Line and Purple Line).

Metro Red Line: The Metro Red Line travels from LA Union Station west through North Hollywood. The Metro Red Line connects to the Blue Line and Metro Expo Line in Los Angeles and provides service through Downtown, the Mid-Wilshire area, Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley, where it meets the Metro Orange Line transitway.
Metro Gold Line: The Metro Gold Line connects to the Red Line at Union Station and runs northeast to Pasadena.
Metro Purple Line: The Metro Purple Line runs from Union Station, through downtown LA to the Wilshire Blvd and Western Avenue intersection.
Metro Blue Line: The Metro Blue Line runs north and south between Long Beach and Downtown Los Angeles. This line travels from the 7th St./Metro Center to the Red or Purple Lines in Downtown LA and then to Long Beach.
Metro Green Line: The Metro Green Line runs east and west between Norwalk and Redondo Beach, and is reachable from the Blue Line. If you are going to LAX, get off at Aviation Station on the Green Line and catch a free shuttle bus to all LAX terminals. Buses arrive at terminal lower levels.

Some Metro Rail Stations do not have fare gates but note that Metro fare inspectors conduct random checks of the system. If riders are caught without a ticket they can be fined up to $250 and/or ordered to perform community service for 48 hours.

One way fare $1.75
