>Los Angeles Metro’s A Line, also known as the Blue Line, has served millions of Angelenos since it was built in 1990. But did you know that in 2023, it broke the record for being the longest light rail line in the world? With 44 stops spanning the 48.5 miles between Azusa and Long Beach, the A Line is quite a technical achievement in L.A.’s massive public transport system. And if you’re looking for a route to Pomona, you’re in luck, because Metro is adding four new stops this summer.
It turns out that America can do public transport if it actually tries

It's easy to be #1 if you claim that everyone else with a claim to that is in a different class.

>50 mile long light rail
Holy shit like how long is that ride? Like three hours? Who wants to take a three hour light rail trip to get from one side of the city to another?

I can see people living in Azusa wanting to take the A line to Long Beach just to get to the Beach Cities but that depends on how long it would take

this may come as a shock to you, but you are not required to travel the entire length of a given line. you're actually able to board and depart at any station along a line, even 2 right next to each other!
crazy, right?
