That's the Blue Line from downtown LA to downtown LB. The Red Line (subway)
goes from North Hollywood/Universal City to downtown LA. The Gold line goes
from downtown LA to Pasadena. So unless you're coming from or going to
downtown LA it's not very useful. The Green Line goes from Norwalk to El
Segundo (bypassing LAX) The combination leaves 80% of LA county unserved.
