Kronika: Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Public Transportation Authority has decided not to purchase additional CRRC HR4000 trains.
Instead, in January 2024, 182 cars of the CRRC HR5000 model were ordered from Hyundai Rotem. The first cars will be operational before the Olympics begin in 2028, and all cars will be on the line by 2030.

In the metro of Los Angeles, the first train of the CRRC HR4000 model was launched: https://youtu.be/Y6TwIu1Rqfk?si=el0dkqvF_WcLToSY

Three downtown underground LRT stations have been already opened. These are Grand Av Arts/Bunker Hill, Historic Broadway, Little Tokyo/Arts District stations, built under the brand of The Regional Connector Transit Project. Thus, the two previously separated LRT networks (A and E line on one hand, and the former L line on the other) are now connected. Two through-running services have been introduced:

A Line — Downtown Long Beach — APU/Citrus College, 78.1 km (48.5 miles),
E Line — Downtown Santa Monica — Atlantic, 35 km (22 miles).

Thereby, the A Line has become the world's longest tram/streetcar/LRT line (78.1 km/48.5 miles), surpassing the previous record holder of Kussttram (Coastal Tram) in Belgium (69 km).

Открыта новая линия скоростного трамвая K, также известная как Crenshaw Line.
Линия состоит из 7 станций: Expo/Crenshaw, (подземная, пересадка на наземную станцию Expo/Crenshaw линии E), Martin Luther King Jr. (подземная), Leimert Park (подземная), Hyde Park (наземная), Fairview Heights (наземная), Downtown Inglewood (наземная), Westchester/Veterans (наземная).
Длина новой линии 13,5 км.

The first five BYD K9M electric buses have entered service on the J Line express bus line. They are 40 feet (12 meters) long and have a range of up to 160 miles (260km). The electric buses are served by Metro`s Division 9 in El Monte and Metro`s Division 18 in Carson. Due to limited battery life, they only operate on route 910: El Monte Station — Harbour Gateway Transit Centre.

The G Line high-speed bus line has been fully switched to electric bus service. Two models of electric buses are operated on the line: the New Flyer XE60 and the BYD K11M. Both models are 60 feet (18 meters) long and have a range of up to 150 miles (240 km). Electric buses are equipped with USB charging, air conditioning, and air suspension. A total of 45 buses are operated on the line, all are stationed at Metro's Division 8 in Chatsworth. A total of $80 million was allocated for the G Line electrification project, of which $60 million was spent on the purchase of rolling stock ($1.5 million per unit), and the remaining $20 million on the retrofitting of Metro's Division 8 and the installation of chargers at the stations of "Chatsworth", "Canoga", "North Hollywood"

Revenue service on the entire Expo Line between downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica on the Pacific Ocean begins.
