Council Committee Moves Red Line Pilot Forward

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — The council’s Transportation committee today endorsed the proposed pilot program extending Red Line service until 3am during the holiday season. The service, which would cost roughly $90,000, would provide for 2-car trains running 20 minute headways between 1 and 3am. Approximately $50,000 has been committed by private businesses so far. The city and Metro must act very quickly in order to have the service operational by November.
