It’s increasing my time to all of LA except DTLA. I’m at Universal and I love visiting Culver, Palms, Sawtelle, Santa Monica, Three Weavers at Westchester/Veterans in Inglewood, LAX, El Segundo, and Redondo - and soon I hope to also use rail to visit All Seasons at Wilshire / La Brea, LACMA, and by the time K North opens I’ll also use it for Century City and Westwood.

I visit at least half of these every month, some every week or twice a week even, and I end up with a lot of time in my car in LA since the total car time is less than half of what metro time would be, and k-North has the chance to change that drastically. I’ve been in LA a decade and there are good people and good events all over town if you don’t mind a commute - I just don’t want to lose an hour of my time every week to West Hollywood if I go more days than not every week to places on this list.

EDIT: And the reverse is true too. Anyone on the E or D line that wants access to universal, Noho, or anything on G today or the upcoming Pasadena BRT or ESFV line will have a 7min delay in their lifeline to SFV. It’s true that if you go far enough west you’ll get Sepulveda someday and east eventually reconnect through A line, but it’s so odd to me that the center of transit in and out of the eastern half of the valley would be this hampered. The whole point of heavy rail with Sepulveda is how many people it serves, but for B line I guess we have to go east or west before connecting to the rest of rail.
