The Regional Connector in downtown Los Angeles was completed in 2023. The project connected the Metro E Line, which already links venues in downtown Santa Monica to venues at Exposition Park and in downtown Los Angeles, to the southern half of the former Metro L Line. This allows for direct rail service between Santa Monica and East Los Angeles. The Regional Connector also linked the Metro A Line with the northern half of the Metro L Line, connecting the Long Beach area and San Gabriel Valley via downtown.[32][33] Also, the completed construction of the La Verne/Fairplex station on the A Line extension now services the L.A. County Fairplex, home of Cricket events.[34]
Another example is the K Line, which opened to revenue service on October 7, 2022, after multiple delays from a planned opening in 2019.[35][36] It links the Crenshaw District, Inglewood and Westchester. The K Line will also connect to a people mover being constructed since early 2018 to link Los Angeles International Airport with the LAX/Metro Transit Center, with opening anticipated in January 2026.[37][38][39]
