What other transit lines will the Westside Subway Extension Transit Corridor connect with? Will the Metro Rapid and local bus service on Wilshire continue?
Several transit corridors will connect to the Westside Subway either directly or through bus connections. The Westside Subway would connect with the full Metro Rail system at the Wilshire/Western Station (Purple Line) and, should additional funding become available in the future, possibly the Hollywood/Highland Station (Red Line). This would provide direct connections to the Metro Blue Line at the 7thStreet/Metro Center Station, and to the Metro Gold Line at Union Station. Union Station also offers direct connections to Amtrak and Metrolink service. The 7th Street/Metro Center Station will offer a direct connection to the Exposition Line currently under construction between Downtown Los Angeles and Culver City. A bus-rail interface plan will be developed as part of the refinement of the alternatives and for use in the ridership forecasting model that will describe how the existing and planned bus transit services will be modified to provide access to the subway stations. 26.
