Honestly, there HAS gotta be a better way to list bus connections. Putting it in the table would bloat things up.

I concur, Bus connections can be found on the Metro web site. Further bus routes change every six months as Metro introduces and eliminates new routes.
The chart itself is rediculous. The Word "red" is repeated all the way down the colunm. The reader knows it's the Red Line. That is what the article he or she is reading.
Further, It is not necessary to have a seperate article on each individual station. These articles are all stubs. -- SAUNDERS 22:54, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
There is obvious bias in the "Westward expansion stopped" section.
I must add: The actual original red line route was Wilshire west to Faifax Ave, North on Faifax, then a slightly diagonal path to Hollywood and Highland (where the current Red Line the follows the original path up to the Valley).
Because of the political chicanery, the pass was altered to the current route (Vermont and Hollywood Blvd), thus avoiding the Fairfax District. Supposedly to avoid the gases of the Fairfax district but reportedly to keep the subway out of the westside. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.84.225.10 ( talk) 22:31, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
These are NOT the official names of the Red Line. Metro Red Line is the "official" name used for all public reference to the line. Line 802 is used by the scheduling department for it's database listing all Bus and Rail lines. I am not even familiar with the A line's use within the Agency, although I have heard the term before. Don't confuse people unfamiliar with Metro Red Line. Gohiking 20:12, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Transit officials are considering the addition of turnstiles, station attendants and officers, thereby eliminating the barrier-free honor system which was designed to increase ridership in Los Angeles' car oriented culture. Currently, L.A. County Sheriff officers and fare inspectors patrol the entire Metro Rail system by riding trains to different stations. This can leave many stations unattended for extended periods of time. Given budget constraints and many other ongoing transit projects, these additions may not be implemented for some time with the estimated cost of installing turnstiles between $50 and $150 million and hiring of station attendants at $24 million annually.

im not sure if i like only have a line map as a list of nodes rather the the lines geographic layout. perhaps both should be included. not in the same section but atleast in the same article. -- Jerjozwik ( talk) 21:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
-i know i wish someone would put back the old line maps for all the lines

There have been hints of this here and there and it makes sense, but I can find no mention of it. I'm talking about adding a pickup wire to the top of a heavy rail tunnel (e.g. Red Line) which would allow LRT vehicles (e.g. Blue Line, Gold Line) to run on the same tracks. My understanding is they are the same rail gauge and I don't know about station platform height - but does anyone know if this has been seriously considered or if it's possible?

Shortly, I plan to move the following pages, as follows:
Metro Blue Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Blue Line (Los Angeles Metro) Metro Green Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Green Line (Los Angeles Metro) Metro Red Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Red Line (Los Angeles Metro) Metro Purple Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Purple Line (Los Angeles Metro) Metro Gold Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Gold Line (Los Angeles Metro) Metro Orange Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Orange Line (Los Angeles Metro) Metro Silver Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Silver Line (Los Angeles Metro) Metro Expo Line (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Expo Line (Los Angeles Metro) Expo Phase 1 (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Expo Phase 1 (Los Angeles Metro) Expo Phase 2 (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Expo Phase 2 (Los Angeles Metro) Crenshaw Corridor (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Crenshaw Corridor (Los Angeles Metro) Regional Connector (LACMTA) --> moving to --> Regional Connector (Los Angeles Metro)
The purpose of this change is to replace a less-well-known, technical name ("LACMTA") with a very descriptive and very familar name "Los Angeles Metro". This will allow people who are unfamiliar with the acronym "LACMTA" to find information about the system in the Los Angeles area.
(BTW, "Los Angeles" in this case refers to "Los Angeles County", since the City of Los Angeles does not have any system called "Metro".)

Information related to the Metro Red and Purple Lines has been redistributed among three articles, as follows:
The Red and Purple line articles were in serious disrepair and included inaccuracies, speculation and redundancy. Hopefully the newer, clearer distribution of information will help prevent this from happening again.

It is an unfortunate fact of life that crime happens on public transit, but that doesn't make it encyclopedically notable. I suggest Metro_Red_Line_(LACMTA)#2011_Stabbing be removed. Shawn in Montreal ( talk) 03:58, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
SuggestBot wants me to place citations here, but I don't really know where in this page the information lacks. HanSangYoon ( talk) 20:33, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi all! I'm planning on changing how Wikipedia covers the history and future of the various Metro lines, moving some material out of the articles for individual lines and to articles specifically about history and expansion. I've put a longish description of my plans and rationale here, if you're interested! -- Jfruh ( talk) 19:47, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
I don't see much of a point of a section with descriptions of four randomly selected bad things that happened on the Red Line? I would strongly suggest that they be cut them from the article. -- Jfruh ( talk) 20:08, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
