Ride like the wind.Since Metro Rapid only stops at major cross streets, there’s nothing to slow you down. Just show up at your station to find a bus coming by every few minutes. Then, cruise through intersections with special sensors that keep tra;c lights green. Less time waiting at red lights means fewer delays.
> Fast Signal priority allows Metro Rapid to extend
green lights.
> Frequent Buses come every 10-15 minutes in peak hours.
> Fabulous Color-coded buses and stops make it easy to
identify your service.

Ya que Metro Rapid solamente hace paradas en los cruces de calles principales, no hay nada que lo detenga. Solo vaya a su estación para encontrar un autobús que pasa frecuentemente. Luego, pase por las intersecciones con sensores especiales que mantienen la luz de los semáforos en verde. Menos tiempo esperando en las luces rojas significa menos retrasos.

Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension
metro.net
Metro and the Review Advisory Committee invite you to a community meeting to learn about and provide feedback on the re-interment plan, ceremony and memorial for the remains discovered at the LA County Crematorium.
Thursday, June 28 at 6:30pm Boyle Heights Senior Citizen Center 2839 E 3rd St Los Angeles
In June 2005, Metro initiated construction activities on the LA County Crematorium in preparation for widening 1st Street to accommodate the East Portal for the Metro Gold Line Eastside Extension. Soon after beginning excavation under the Crematorium property driveway, human remains were discovered and construction was halted. Metro immediately declared this site an archeological excavation and worked closely with a project archeologist to determine what was found. Metro then notified the public through the Review Advisory Committee and made a commitment to work closely with the community to solicit feedbackand guidance on a culturally sensitive and respectful re-intermentplan, ceremony and memorial.
The Review Advisory Committee formed the Ad-Hoc Sub Committee to address the needs of the community. We hope you can attend this special community meeting and look forward to seeing you there.

That was enoughfor me to forgive you.To spirit a tigerfrom its cell.
Called me corazónin that instant beforeI let go the phoneback to its cradle.
Your voice small.Heat of your eyes,how I would’ve placedmy mouth on each.
Said corazónand the word blazedlike a branch of jacaranda.

Pacific Electric “Blimp”
Esta foto de 1947 fue tomada en el patio de ferrocarriles, 7th Street Yard, ubicado entre las calles Los Angeles y Maples en el centro de Los Angeles. El edificio a la izquierda fue la oficina central de Pacific Electric Railway constuido por Henry E. Huntington e inaugurado en 1905. Ahora se ha convertido en departamentos residencial. El carro 317 fue construido en 1930 por Northwestern Pacific Railway en el Condado de Marin. Ese sistema fue abandonado cuando el Golden Gate Bridge se inauguró y los 19 carros con parabrisas redondos vinieron al Sur de California. Fueron apodados “Blimps” debido a su tamaño y tipo de parabrisas. El autobús Pacific Electric que se muestra fue construido por White Motors.
Fotografía y información para el pie de foto proporcionados por Jim Walker, un archivista en la Biblioteca de Transporte Dorothy Payton Gray de Metro, de su libro reciente
