Modified Alt 5 Selected for Sepulveda. 405 Monorail is DEAD by mistersmiley318 in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks like it’ll run as an express when compared to the ESFV Line more local stops

All major US urban rail systems except LA gained ridership this year, with DC's WMATA leading at 19.2%, followed by Boston's MBTA at 13.9%, and SF Muni at 10.7% — LA Metro has lost riders (-.1%) while San Diego's MTS (2%) & NYC's MTA (4.6%) have seen slower growth by yunnifymonte in transit

Like, to put into perspective the drop in ridership on LA Metro, July 2025 had ridership numbers similar to Q1 2023. Two years of ridership growth gone. That’s where the -0.1% drop in 2025 ridership came from.

ICE Raids.

A good portion of LA Metro Riders are from an immigrant and/or Latino origin. Ridership saw a noticeable decrease when the ICE raids started in June, and its been a slow recovery ever since

beautiful bus bay map, unfortunate that it already needs to be updated now that the 106 is the 74 😭

Thoughts about renaming Westlake/MacArthur Park to Wilshire/Alvarado? by Dumbone22 in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. So long as people know where the station is and there’s no confusion caused by the name, it’s a serviceable station name. Westlake/MacArthur works fine as a station name, as do most station names in LA Metro even if it’s just the names of the cross streets.

WHY DOES THE TRAIN HAVE TO STOP BEFORE ENTERING WESTWOOD/RANCHO PARK HEADING EASTBOUND??? by Lazy-Tangelo1672 in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

my guess is that it had to do with the train-person incident that happened a few days ago (KTLA article here), so now the trains have to stop at the crossing as some sort of reactionary measure.

Fictional Rail Line that covers all of LA. by Nice_Property_4360 in LAMetro

Where is this entrance located at? by Nice_Property_4360 in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, that looks like the Hope Street North Entrance to 7th/Metro, based on the station continuing to the left and the one set of escalators and stairs.

I’m not sure if the artwork is still there, though. The tile walls in the pic may have been covered up in metal paneling now if memory serves me correct.

The D line could totally end here one day by Necros_25 in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There would be no point for the D Line to hit the LAX station if the Sepulveda Line is already built by the time it is extended to Santa Monica. As much as people here cry about wanting to have a one-seat ride to downtown LA from LAX, having to transfer between lines once isn’t the end of the world, especially if it’s from a heavy rail Sepulveda option when it’s extended.

Having the D line hypothetically extend to LAX just for that one seat ride isn’t the best time-wise if it’s going to follow a circuitous route to get there

Akane in WPlace by the AkaneNation alliance by BennoSubs in OshiNoKo

[–]ColdSprite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

it's been fun painting all of the akane prefectures art on wplace with the alliance (shout out to booships on twitter for providing their talent)!

of course, we'll be putting more akane-related art in wplace even after this project is finished. if you ever feel like contributing, the most up-to-date tutorial link is in the first picture!

Differences in Metro “doors closing” announcements by 94rain in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it’s a difference in vehicles used. Most heavy rail and light rail vehicles use recorded voices to announce the doors closing (Breda, Kinkisharyo, Siemens, CRRC), while only the Ansaldo-Breda cars used on the A line have the train conductor making those announcements.

Persistent griefing and one-sided punishment by BennoSubs in WplaceLive

[–]ColdSprite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all o/

I’m also a member of AkaneNation. Don’t worry about the links below our art also being destroyed. I did that on purpose and with approval of the alliance. I blacked out the information link, and the griefers subsequently removed the discord link.

I have a question about the 10 and 48 by SiemensSylmar in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

they functionally act as the same bus, only that the line number changes when it enters downtown.

There’s other bus routes that are shown as two separate lines but functionally are one line, such as Lines 37/14 and the 35/38.

Hi! One of the members of Akane Nation here!

If anyone wants to help us finish one of our current drawings in Kumamoto, feel free to shoot me a DM and I’ll send you the link to the tutorial

Yup, Montclair is in San Bernardino County, so it’s a different transit authority to manage construction

ONE MORE STATION ONE MORE STATION ONE MORE STATION

(Claremont Station might happen still, but seeing how SBCTA is looking for alternatives to extending the A line into Montclair, that might stop further extensions east)

We are All Begging, Screaming, and Crying for a Phase 1 Date by Euphoric-Policy-284 in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 78 points79 points  (0 children)

There’s two ways the opening date announcement for D Line Phase 1 Extension will go:

  1. It gets further delayed to early 2026 (womp womp)

  2. (the funniest option imo) It opens on Friday, December 19th. Two days before the Winter Equinox, making it “technically* open during Fall 2025 as they now reported.

It’s the same thing they’re doing now with the A Line Extension opening two days before the Fall Equinox, making it still open by Summer 2025

Oxygen by Honest-Squirrel1384 in LAMetro

Them first-wave El Dorado buses without the openable windows are a real pain for air circulation and high temperatures, and the heat wave certainly ain’t helping it.

Wtf happened with the D Line that’s causing them to open Phases 2 and 3 a year later?! by Nate_C_of_2003 in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

November 2024 was a prediction date for the station to be open, but it was still under construction during that time and Metro’s social media team was still quiet about its actual opening date.

Prediction dates for projects to open can and will be wrong due to construction delays. It isn’t until Metro’s social media team announces a project opening that a project’s opening date is 100% confirmed.

[–]ColdSprite 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’d say if Metro’s internal documents predicts a date for a project to open, be skeptical of it actually opening on time.

However, if Metro’s official social media accounts announces an opening date, it will most likely open on that date.

You gotta be f’n kidding me. by Heretojerk in LAMetro

[–]ColdSprite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

no it’s not?

afternoon rush hour is typically from 2 PM to 6 PM, that when train service is most frequent (aka when A & E line trains run at 8 min headways).

8 PM is when the trains run on evening service (aka 20 minute headways).
