There was no security or Metro staff to assist with any questions, unlike the Los Angeles stations. Going back to LA a couple of days later, very early in the morning, the first train had several homeless people on it, and it smelled bad.

It's part of the new (as of 2023) 'E' Gold Line, a stop on the way from Santa Monica to East LA. Previously, it was part of the 'L' line, connecting Pasadena to East LA, but was changed in 2023. The previous two stops are underground, but this is above ground with the same platform used for both Eastbound and Westbound trains. To enter/exit, you have to cross live tracks. I remember not being particularly fond of this, but have gotten used to it since quite a few stations on the LA Metro system have this feature.

Opening in Pomona on Sept 19, 2025, the Pomona North Metro Station of the Los Angeles Metro A Line…read moreis now (temporarily) the North Terminus of the longest metro line in the US. I had the opportunity to take most of the 58 miles (45 of the 48 stops) to it from my home in DTLB the day after its opening, taking a bit over 2 hours. The new area is a platform North of the existing Metrolink (commuter rail) station, connected by a pedestrian walkway. All of it is above ground, with some shaded areas. It uses the new modern turnstiles (plexiglass paddles). But as Metro does during new station openings, rides were free during the long weekend, and all the paddles were in the open position. There were also a ton of Metro employees milling around, hopefully enjoying the socialization and California sun. The station is set-up with one shared platform, with both sides marked as going to Long Beach. It has been really impressive that all the signage (electronic and permanent) had been changed to reflect the end point being Pomona North (instead of the previous Azusa station). The station looked and felt new, and there were plenty of families out using it on this weekend. It was also interesting to people watch as the makeup of people changed while moving from the South Bay, through Central LA and Downtown, across the San Gabriel Valley, and deeper into the Inland Empire.

You stand on an escalator and let it take you up to the platform. The concrete chairs on the platform is cold, ugly, and has a butt cheek divider. The floor has some pretty butterflies. Wow!

I don't take the Metro on the regular, so I can't comment on what it's like to park here on a weekday. It appears that they put in a $3/day fee on weekdays, to help with freeing up more spots for daily commuters. Parking here is free on holidays and weekends. I chose to park here when taking the C line to go to Sofi Stadium. It costs $1.50 to take the C line from Norwalk to LAX/Metro Station. There's a complimentary shuttle at that stop to go to SoFi. It's a great reason to come by. I look forward to when the LAX People Mover opens in 2026. I hope that will be a game changer in the LAX experience! For those headed to LAX, they have shuttles to and from LAX going around the clock. I don't know that I'd want to take the metro to LAX with my large luggage; however, I think it's absolutely the cheapest way to access LAX and SoFi Stadium!

I timed the stops, between each stop it was about one to two minutes and each stop was 30 seconds. The Beverly Hills station was very clean and nice with very cool art. I think it was from the movie theater that's up the block. I wish they had put more older early days pictures of Beverly Hills instead of just the interior of movie theater. Multiple times cops came in and checked for tickets, which I appreciate. There were noticebly more police officers and security guards as the train got closer to Beverly Hills. They did a great job. The only reason this loses one star was the difficulty in getting a card. I just wanted two tickets and the only choices were a $20 card or loading your info into Metro App. But then another passenger said they got card for the right amount of fair. So maybe it is possible I did not know.

If you're planning on taking the Subway to the Sea, as Metro's Westside Extension of the Wilshire…read morePurple Line was once dreamily called, don't plan on hanging up the keys to your Lamborghini any time soon. The Project, funded by Proposition R, does have enough money to make it ... chug-chug ... to the VA Hospital, more or less. Or is that to Century City ..cough-cough ... Or maybe it's only as far as Wilshire & La Cienega .. grrr. Well anyhow, it does have the wherewithall, once coupled with Federal Funds, to make it as far as the Tar Pits where it will sink below Mammoths, Saber Tooth Tigers, and Jackson Pollock to surface shiny and un-blackened at the proposed Wilshire & Fairfax Station; the closest one can come to a sure thing in the far off world of future transportation planning. Keep your culture hard-on in your pants art lovers. Although LACMA is highly supportive of this Station, in fact hosting some of Metro's meetings, don't think there will be a long escalator ride ascending to a sculpture garden by the time you generously re-up your expiring museum membership. Let me put this into perspective: as we are just a day into this new decade, don't expect to disembark here for at least another full decade. Well, 2019 actually, but delays are the one thing in life you can count on. If you want to get to UCLA, think 2036, and if you want to get to the Pier, think great grandchildren. Metro held multiple meetings all over the "West" side this Fall. The Westside excluded Santa Monica. A few meetings were held as much as 2 years prior, to discuss various routings and station possibilities. They asked for input from commuters and potential commuters. I attended 2 meetings in October and November, and a previous meeting about 18 months ago. Comments from commuters were severely channeled toward what had already been predetermined. It's not like Valley riders could just suggest sh*t like they wanted a subway from Encino to Venice. Translators were provided at each meeting, but for the most part sat idly by. The Latino ridership .... the base .... did not show up in proportion to their use of public transport. Those few Latinos who did attend were well educated, and actually native speakers of English. Although meetings were well-attended, Russian and Korean translators stood by, not having to earn their money. I don't know if the Beverly Hills & Westwood meetings provided Farsi translators as I didn't attend those. I always find it amusing when translators are provided for people who know how to speak 8 languages fluently, and speak English better than I do myself. * * * * * * If you have no interest in public transportation you can stop reading here. Perhaps you already fell asleep at the wheel before you reached this point. For the detail minded see below: Here are just some of the points that surfaced at the Metro meetings: * The Purple Line Extension will be built in what Metro refers to as Minimum Operable Segments. The first segment (MOS 1) west is not sure to include a Crenshaw/Wilshire stop, but quite sure to have stations at Wilshire/La Brea & Wilshire/Fairfax. * This will be a subway, not light-rail. * Federal criteria on ridership levels must be met to receive Federal Funding. * Environmental Impact Studies are not yet complete. When finished, it will take about another year to complete engineering design, prepare bid documents & award construction contracts. * Based on this schedule, construction of the subway could begin in 2013. Notice that it says 'could'. * Measure R is the source of funding. It allocates money to a variety of transportation projects throughout the County over that time period. It's funds are not entirely available for the westbound subway. * The cost estimates are based on 2008 Dollars. * Parking at Stations: They are leaning away from providing parking. Land values in the path of the subway are high, and the purpose is to get people out of their cars. In some areas that already have parking, it remains a possibility. Free parking? In your dreams. * Cyclists will be able to transport their bikes. * MOS 2 (Year 2026) would extend to Century City. MOS 3 (Year 2036) would extend to Westwood/I-405 with stations being evaluated at UCLA & the VA Hospital. * West Hollywood Connecting Line: A line that would extend the Red Line westward from Hollywood-Highland, running down Santa Monica Blvd. No money presently exists for this line. * No money. Zero.. . exists to get from the 405 to the Sea. * As things stand now, a subway to the City of Santa Monica & the City of West Hollywood are way out there in some nebulous future. A future in which Pluto is no longer a planet. Oh wait, that already happened last decade. www.metro.net/westside info: 213-922-6934.
