Just cuz subways r underground doesn't mean they're vulnerable to earthquakes. San Francisco has a subway and they get A LOT of earthquakes as well. Mexico City has a subway and they had an earthquake... It was safer in the subway than up on surface.
Los Angeles has subways...but not very many of them. there only in the dowtown, and western area like hollywood and santa monica. They dont stretch very far. There are no subway lines that even go near Downey where I live. And I live only 14 miles from Downtown LA
As DiverseLA pointed out, LA has had a subway since the early 90s.
The trains you're talking about were part of the Pacific Electric Railway, which was an interurban system (NOT a rapid transit system). Although the system was dismantled, many of the ROWs still exist and are being brought back to life again.
But destroying the Pacific Electric railways for freeways was the worst idea in the city's history, IMO. We had a more expansive train system than NYC.

Not only is Los Angeles County well-built to withstand a major quake, everything under ground is well-designed good as well.
They learned from experience like the Methane gas explosion in 1985 in the Wilshire District. That event would cause many things to change concerning building above or below ground.

You live in Downey! did you forget that the Green Line train runs 3 miles inside the Downey city limits in the center devide of the 105 Freeway?
Did you know that the Green Line connects with the Blue Line in South L.A.

how often are fare checks done on Metro rail.
jackiechan511 4 years ago
not very often!!
twinlotus617 4 years ago
so you're saying that I can board any Metro Rail line and they wouldn't check (or rarely check).
jackiechan511 4 years ago
not exactly...you never know when they will check, so you best be prepared! It's not worth the price of the fine!

Everytime I rode L.A. Metro I was never asked for my ticket.

There are officers that do sporadic checks. The MTA, however, is beginning to install turnstiles.
