LA Metro Tests Olympics Transit Push | Venice Beach News

LA Metro is turning the World Cup into a giant transit test run for the 2028 Olympics, aiming to lure fans back onto buses and trains with record crowds—nearly 50,000 riders for one game alone—and special shuttles. With safety upgrades like a new police force on the way and crime dropping over 13% in March, riders are noticing cleaner, more welcoming stations. Rising gas prices and smart promotions—like credit card payments, FIFA fan zones, and social media buzz—are making transit more appealing. Plus, new D Line extensions are connecting downtown to key attractions, all part of LA’s bold push to make public transit the go-to for millions during the Games.
