Metro Rail in Los Angeles

Between its light rail and heavy rail systems, Los Angeles Metro Rail has 73 miles (117 km) miles of rail, averaging 308,653 trips per weekday, and accounting for approximately 1.1% of the 29 million daily trips originating in Los Angeles County. The network includes three above-ground light rail lines (Gold Line, Blue Line, and Green Line) and one underground subway with two branches (Red Line and Purple Line). Ranked by daily ridership, the Los Angeles subway ranked as the ninth-busiest rapid transit system in the United States. Ranked by passengers per route mile, however, the system ranks sixth, transporting 8,846 passengers per route mile, more than San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit or the Chicago 'L'.

Los Angeles is the largest city in the state of California and the second largest in the United States. Los Angeles is a great city one of its own kind in whole world.Often abbreviated as L.A. and nicknamed The City of Angels, Los Angeles has an estimated population of 3.98 million.I visited it last time in July and was impressed with the hospitality and kindness.Every thing from Airport taxi to hotel tour guys all was good.Airport limo was fun to have in such a low price. I was amazed by the choices of transportation,like you could have a choper to go to downtown for few hundred dollars. All museums and downtown were full of fun loving people.Los Angeles is the place man,i would love to go their over and over.
