It's convenient to stop at this station to and from the Kings hockey games as it's a short 5 minute walk to Crypto Arena. It's usually pretty clean. Be careful when you are crossing the tracks to look make sure you don't get hit by the train. The train attendant that dropped us off here was very courteous in letting us cross before leaving. Will definitely use this stop over and over.

I change at 7th street/Metro (coming from the Red Line) just for one stop. Convenient, you don't even need to tap again. Could this stop be cleaner ? For sure! I could use more security as well and better seating. Trains are usually nicer, cleaner, newer on this line!

A major underground Metro subway stop serving both the B and D lines, the Wilshire/Vermont station…read moreopened in 1996, providing a major connection point the Koreatown LA neighborhood up above. My wife and I had reason to use this as an exit during a weekday jaunt to K-town. The station was the one of the largest (and deepest) stations that we've visited. Because of the depth of the station, it had escalators in both directions, with each working on this day. It is over 75 feet below street level, with the lowest level platform being for Westbound trains and the middle level being for trains going Eastbound toward Union Station. It's also the last station before the B and D lines diverge (D going further into K-town and ultimately to UCLA in the future, and B continuing to Hollywood). It has the new full length plexiglass saloon style doors, installed sometime in 2025 (probably when the D line was shut down as part of the West line extension). LA Metro is rolling out their 'Tap-to-Exit' program across some of their stations. I thought it was meant to implement variable tolls, but reading that it's to increase security and non-payers. Also for the first time, Metro security came onboard at a stop, and requested that all passengers get their TAP cards ready for fare inspection...have not seen this before for folks REMAINING on the train at a stop.

Westlake & MacArthur Park is an often problem child of the Red / Purple Line Metro station…read more I've only gotten on here a few times, rarely off... but the platform itself is almost never ever busy, but this station and I have issues, especially during the day (lunch time)... However absolutely on weekends when the blocks surrounding it are like are like the most congested parts of Downtown LA (ie Fashion District - Santee Alley on a Sunday or Saturday... If you know... You know).... So many outdoor vendors, local shops and of course the famous Langer's Deli/Restaurant encircling this station. Being not far from Echo Park at all I've actually walked from their over on nice weather days, definitely better post 2020 and 2021 and slow strides toward upkeep have me more optimistic. The escalators are down a lot compared to other stations and the elevators are a down more than half the times I've been, but again I've seen more efforts to keep things cleaner and flowing. The postdemic clean up project for MacArthur Park and even Echo Park Lake I think set a precedent for a lot in the area. It's definitely not a station I'm proud of, but it gets a passing grade, more so in 2023 than ANY previous years.

The Metro E line also known as the Gold is an extensive connector that runs from East Los Angeles…read moreto Santa Monica. I've taken it many times before it's conversion from the former Expo/Light Blue line to concerts at Expo/USC, trips to, West Adams area, Culver City, Downtown L.A. as well as Downtown Santa Monica and Little Tokyo to name a few. It's easy, reliable and smooth. Being a light rail line that runs pretty much above ground on the surface you get some great scenic views. There are less carts than lines like the B/Red Line or D/Purple than run below, but a bit more frequency. It can fill up quite fast especially during the week and on some weekends, but never fills over capacity or like you can't get on and off with ease. And if you don't start with a seat readily available you may be able to find one that opens up before your reach your destination. The Metro Gold E - has some of the newest stops/stations/freshly renovated via Grand Avenue Arts/Bunker Hill as well as Historic Broadway. There are some stations with parking available for commuters, but mostly on the westside and West L.A. area (Expo/Bundy, Expo/Sepulveda, Expo/Crenshaw, La Cienega/Jefferson, 17th/SMC), two stations offer parking in East L.A. also (Indiana and Maravilla). Like most metro trains its runs as early as 4:30 am but currently only until about midnight during the week, some extension on the weekends.

A very direct and convenient stop if you're looking to come to campus, or if you're looking to visit the California Science Center on the other side. On weekends, or for major event days, there are ambassadors and sometimes officers that will be standing by the TAP entry gates. Just be sure to tap your fare and you're good to go. Platforms are in the middle of the roadways. You come through by walking over the tracks. There are no safety entry gates like other major stations, so watch the road before you cross over. Safety is always first!

Getting to Exposition Park before the Notre Dame-USC game was a breeze, but after the game, we…read morearrived to what looked like a thousand people waiting in a line (on the street) that doubled back and ran almost the entire length of the East L.A.-bound platform. I was prepared to watch three or four trains arrive and leave before we boarded, but thankfully, I was wrong. I should also mention that while I was crestfallen at the sight of so many people waiting just for the eastbound train, I was also pleasantly surprised that so many L.A. locals would even deign to ride a Metro train, let alone to a USC game. So I was hopeful for the future long-term, but annoyed at what my next hour would be like. Well, all those people lined up in the (still closed-off) street waiting to board the train? They were well behaved, and the "line"--more of a loose clump--moved smoothly as the Metro workers allowed people onto the platform. My worst fears weren't realized, for we boarded the second train that arrived. We happened to end up right in front of a car's rear doors, so my dad and I got seats while everyone else sardine-canned it. Thankfully, most people got off within a few stops, and I wondered at the fact that it seemed like all but two game attendees (USC fans) made it all the way to Atlantic Station, where we also disembarked and saw other USC and Irish fans from other cars on the same train. Now that I've taken Metro's 480 bus from Norwalk Station, Metro's J Line bus from Harbor Freeway Station and Metro's E Line train from Atlantic Station to USC games, I can accurately compare them. I prefer the train just because you're guaranteed a seat at least on the way to the game (and for most of the way back), but the bus stop for both the 480 and the J Line is closer to the L.A. Memorial Coliseum than either of the E Line USC-specific stations, including this one, and most people who use the bus use the J Line rather than the 480. As a station, it's fine. They've made it about as long as possible, and the platform is very roomy so that you don't feel like you'll fall onto the tracks if more people crowd on behind you. They could use more fare machines. About those fares: It's too confusing to add specific amounts to your TAP card. Be aware that if you're adding a special fare, you'll have to go through two transactions rather than being able to add a round-trip fare easily, or maybe it's just too confusing to do a round-trip fare. If you did only buy a one-way fare on the way to this station, I suggest purchasing your return fare right before you leave the station rather than waiting for when you return. You already know what I think of slashes (/'s) in public-transit-station names.

The sign says something is to arrive at last 10 minutes, nothing appears and certainly no buses are passing by in the return from Hollywood to Wilshire? & the driver that evetually showed up made mention to dispatch of a driver being cautioned for taking short cuts earlier.

It provides a lot of scenery and it gets you to the central part of Los Angeles where the museums and other attractions are located. You can even get all the way from Long Beach to Hollywood and Vine streets.
