On Friday, May 20, the Expo Line light rail extension to Santa Monica will open to the public at noon for passenger service – and will provide a car-free connection from Azusa to the beaches in Santa Monica by way of the Metro rail system. To celebrate the new extension, here are two videos featuring Los Angeles County Supervisor and Metro Board Member Sheila Kuehl and long-time rail fan Alan Weeks.
