Pedestrian View Of Los Angeles

This blog focuses on rail lines in LA country that exist, are under construction or under consideration. The Californian high-speed rail project and southern CA to Vegas project will also be covered. Since most of the relevant developments in the news, rail websites and blogosphere take place on weekdays, this blog will be updated primarily Monday through Friday and occasionally on the weekends. Your comments, criticism and suggestions are encouraged. Miscellaneous stuff will also appear here.

The Transit Coalition, an advocacy group, has a very informative website

TTC Overview,The Transit Coalition
A Range of Coalition Objectives

The Coalition works to develop a safe, integrated, cost effective and environmentally sound public transportation system for the greater Los Angeles Region. The Transit Coalition realizes that government must not only look at the tangible cost of running and building a public transportation network, but also the intangible benefits that such a system provides, such as better health, less pollution, reasonable travel time, ease of use, coordinated schedules with a minimum amount of transferring between routes.

Dennis Lytton not only supports The Transit Coalition, he can also be found doing other volunteer work. The picture above shows Dennis as a docent volunteer for Metro's Art Docent Council as he gives one of his many tours. Dennis can normally be found giving his Art Tours at Los Angeles's Union Station, at the Red Line Subway stations and along the Gold Line Light Rail line at its stations.
Varieties of Transportation Modes

Los Angeles has many different modes of public transportation. Commuter Rail, Heavy Rail (Subway), Light Rail, Rapid and Express Bus, Local Bus and Shuttle Bus. Even with the opening of the Gold Line, Los Angeles still has much work ahead to make our Public Transportation System even better than we have today.
