Metro hosted a media grand opening for the Expo Line this morning.

The Expo Line is the latest light rail project when it goes into service May 20th.  LA Mayor Eric Garcetti says the Expo and other lines under construction are good job generators for region.

 

“People wonder since middle class manufacturing jobs have left America and part of Los Angeles what going to replace those?  Infrastructure can.  If we have 40-years of transportation growth we’re looking at about 561-thousand jobs.”

The Expo line is predicted to carry between 36-and-50 thousand riders a day when it opens its doors in less than two weeks.
