I came across this today and almost cried at its beauty.

This map in no way represents reality, or anything that the metro transit authority is even considering. However, just imagine if LA could be that accessible. I'd have been able to metro to work in the morning while I was living in WeHo, and wouldn't even have needed a car to visit my family. Can you imagine being able to live in LA without a car? If anything like this could ever come to fruition I might have to concoct a reason to move home, even if just for a little bit, purely for the purpose of that new and novel experience.

far be it for me to point out that this map is 60 miles wide and 50 miles tall.

also, i love how clear it is that the designer has NEVER been to whittier. the two stops are at fred c. nelles juvenile detention facility and a strip mall no one has been to in 18 years.

it's pretty much a pipe dream based on modern public transit and an old red car map.

I was disappointed to see that the Orange Line does not, in fact, traverse the Orange Curtain.

I showed this to my dad and he has already started strategizing how to hook this into his master plan to unite all of SoCal via Disney-Imagineered Monorails. I think he wrote it out on 7 napkins this time. Measure M is OUR money, dammit.

Anyway, I think that if this had existed in my LMU days, I wouldn't have gone home every weekend.

PS: Bryce, why the hell else would one go to Whittier, anyway?
