\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 \t\t\t\u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 Following the announcement of the opening of the first section of the D Line extension<\/a> (and with major projects moving forward, including the Vermont Ave BRT<\/a> and the Sepulveda Corridor subway)<\/a>,\u00a0 it\u2019s clear that 2026 is shaping up to be a turning point for public transit<\/strong> in Los Angeles. The system continues to evolve and modernize ahead of the 2028 Olympics.<\/p>\n Beyond these infrastructure projects, other changes are also on the horizon, this time in digital form. L.A. Metro has officially launched its new trip-planning app,<\/strong> allowing riders to map out the best route for their daily commute<\/a> using official, real-time information directly from Metro, with no third-party apps involved.<\/p>\n Users can find the best routes across bus and rail networks, choose the fastest option, or plan trips in advance. The app also shows live bus<\/a> and train locations<\/strong> so riders know exactly when their ride will arrive.<\/p>\n In addition, it provides service alerts on delays, disruptions,<\/strong> and schedule changes before departure, along with quick access to nearby bus and train departures.<\/p>\n Step-by-step navigation guides<\/strong> users through their journey to avoid missing stops, while saved favorites make it easier to reuse frequent trips and stations<\/a> for faster daily planning.<\/p>\n According to transit advocate and social media user Kenny Uong, <\/strong>the app has been available to download on the App Store<\/a> for iPhone and iPad since Tuesday, May 12.<\/a><\/strong> The service is offered in English and 40 additional languages and, so far, has received five-star ratings from users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 Staff Writer \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 May 13, 2026 Following the announcement of the opening of the first section of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":793415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,224,5337],"class_list":{"0":"post-793414","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-los-angeles","12":"tag-losangeles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116567260347393455","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=793414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/793415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=793414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=793414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=793414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/sofia-delpueche-150x150.jpg\"\/)
