They might have done that because they increased the train frequency to every 8 minutes as of 12-10-23. Shorter trains but more of them. That's better.
Metro is running less service frequency than when the Gold line first opened. MTA's operations, both raill line frequencies and train capacities, are often insufficient to attract new riders, or even (like on weekends) to accomodate the riders they currently have. MTA's operations are so bad, that it is one reason that MTA has lost over 500,000 daily riders since 2014, even before MTA found the "Covid" excuse. And worse, MTA is handling less than half of the passengers it did on an all bus system for the 1984 Olympics. MTA needs to start operating these systems correctly (more frequencies and more cars) if they expect it to perform that well in the next Olympics.
@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 Though I predict tge line will get much more used once the new sections open. Since both the B and D line are getting new trainsets, they might add more cars in the near future. The new trainsets will have open gangways too. Very exciting.
@@Volkswagen-of-DeutschlandAll the subway stations have been getting some upgrades like much better lighting. They have more cleaning crews, security guards, and transit ambassadors. And the B line will get new train cars, too.
@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 Definitely!! It's almost like a revival of the Pacific Electric. The Blue Line now known as the "A" Line is definitely like a restoration of the Pacific Electric from Los Angeles to Long Beach CA.
That would be nice. Also, at some point next year, the new subway trains will start to enter service. I will miss the A650s when they retire. I have literally been riding them my whole life.
@@jackwiegmannYeah, they're over 30 years old now, but they've held up reasonably well over that time. They do look dated though. The new ones are awesome.
@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 don’t they run 3 cars for events? Because with how many people were in that they better run more. Also, was this filmed before or after the frequency increase?

Holy crap the E line hella pack how in hella are the people supposed to fit they need another E line train
It's amazing that the tunnel part of the extension is almost finished
You fooled me into thinking you’d go into the new tunnels
Metro made a big mistake by putting only 2 cars on E line and A line yesterday. 2 car train won’t cut it anymore on weekends.
Saturday and Sunday it’s 2 cars

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 I saw the Purple Line tunnel extension opened last year in 2023. It looks just like the Regional Connector.

That’s pretty cool, love that purple line horn tho
They need to start making five car trains!
That’s not possible it’s only 4 or 6 cars . Metro stopped putting 6 cars and now it’s 4 cars

The horn on that Purple Line subway train is like the air whistles on the wooden Chicago Aurora and Elgin Interurbans.
The whistle is to represent the Pacific Electric Red Cars Los Angeles had in the 1950

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 It does bring back memories of the Old Pacific Electric Interurbans.
According to Wikipedia, the D Line extension doesn't open until 2025.
Well it’s opening next year but late . According to construction workers Metro might open one station only if it’s gets delayed even more

God these trains have become so dirty
@@michaelbilgen2976I read it will be a phased in approach so we should see a mix of both for a while.

PURPLE LINE TUNNEL OPEN??!! I’mma go see it soon😮
Purple line won’t open until next year
Cool subway trains
6:35 W operator. Anyone else would’ve just drove off
All the way to the West 😊
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!
When will the next Purple line tunnel open?
Why are they running short trains though, the platform infrastructure is clearly capable of a longer train?
It’s only runs 6 cars when more people ride and gets busy
It’s almost open of the D line extension project
With the crowded train in the first clip, why are they not running 3 car trains?!
Because Saturday and Sunday Metro runs 2 cars only

More likely testing out things.
It thought you meant that the exenction has opened
I’m excited to make that video soon
@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 Same here but I don't take the D line much
Yeah, I thought that too, but seeing the tunnel is good enough for now.
When did they opened it it was close last week
Yesterday
@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 What time was it when the Purple Line tunnel extension opened?
Omagash these guys would never survive in New York
The tunnel might be "open" but it isn't completed. You can't take a train down it.
All the tunneling was completed as of May 2024.
Soooooo like all other major city subways there remains no people Barriers like roller coasters so Antony an fall or be thrown on the tracks!?!
Unfortunately yes . It’s very important to look around when on those platforms.

And what was closed?
The tunnels .
