Starting Monday: Expo Coming Twice as Often, Increasing Capacity By 33%

Date:

Via the Office of Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin :

Love the Expo Light Rail Line but hate waiting for a train? I’ve got some great news for you!

Staring Monday October 24, Expo frequencies are going form 12 minutes between three-car trains to six minutes between two-car trains. So, instead of five trains with 15 cars heading down the tracks every hour, there will now be 10 trains with a total of 20 cars per hour. That’s a 33% increase in capacity. As new cars arrive and Metro balances the fleet demands across the system, we will add a car to each of the two-car trains to fill-out the capacity of the Expo line even more.

I’m thrilled that the Expo has been such a great success already, and I’m excited for what the future could hold for public transit in LA.
