light rail

Metro is testing millimeter wave technology at several light-rail stations.

The relentless flow of vehicles and Metro light-rail trains drowned out Blanca Lucio’s voice as she gave a tour of South-Central L.A., walking past auto-body shops and restaurants at the intersection of San Pedro Street and Washington Boulevard.

More entrances to the complex were created, including an underground portal to the 7th Street/Metro Center light-rail station.

For several hours on Monday, the strike delayed some flight departures at Ben Gurion international airport, curtailed some nonemergency hospital services, and temporarily shut down light-rail systems in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

The K Line extension is projected to serve upward of 85,000 daily riders — providing a ride from the South Bay/LAX area to lines extending into the the San Fernando Valley, which is expecting its own light-rail project to begin construction this year.
