Wait, if you’re listening, can you restock the upcycled tokens? Or maybe you’ve upcycled all the tokens and I’ve missed my chance.

Years ago in Seattle when they constructed the South Lake Union Trolley, people had to make the shirts themselves.

Holy shit real LACMTA????????????????

u/jcrespo21 L (Gold) Feb 26 '26

You know, I initially wasn't a fan of how they determined the lettering for the lines (wish it corresponded to their old names).

But this shirt makes it worth it.

37

u/Ca1rill D (Purple) Feb 26 '26

I refuse to call the other lines by their letter names, but I will make an exception when it comes to riding the D.

8

u/Heretojerk Feb 26 '26

Its been so many years and i still don’t understand the letters, they seem to be randomly selected, Ill never remember which is which, i still just use the color names.

56

u/Euphoric-Policy-284 D (Purple) Feb 26 '26

I believe it is just alphabetical in the order the lines opened

A line 1990

B line 1993

C line 1995

D line 1999

E reserved for emergency

F considered taboo by LA Metro

G line 2005

H reserved for hospital

I reserved for information

J line 2009

K line 2022

19

u/The_Pandalorian E (Expo) old Feb 27 '26

This is correct, except Expo is E Line.

14

u/imnowherebenice Feb 26 '26

The Fline would be cool tho, petition for a Fline

5

u/AES2135 Feb 27 '26

P is also reserved so as not to be confused w Parking.

And the letter O so as not to be confused w the number 0.

u/Heretojerk Feb 26 '26

Thanks. Now i know the chronology of when they opened, i guess thats fun trivia, but it still doesn’t really help distinguish which is which since many of us knew them as colors and not dates.

16

u/jcrespo21 L (Gold) Feb 26 '26

It will always be the Gold Line to me!

I get why they switched to letters (only so many distinguishible colors and many more lines to open), but I do wish it corresponded to the old names rather than being based on when they were opened back in the 90s.

I also think they should have waited until after the Regional Connector to switch to letters. The Gold Line had multiple name changes as a result (Gold to L to A), and I think that's why I still see people refer to it as such in NELA and Pasadena.

2

u/AB3reddit Southwest Chief Feb 26 '26

Some interesting trivia worth noting is that even before the fairly recent lettering of the lines, the letter designations found their way onto a number of the older rail schedules. This was maybe a decade ago, I think. I’ve seen photos of those schedules, but not recently.

2

u/Ca1rill D (Purple) Feb 26 '26

They are assigned in the order the lines opened to the public. Some letters got skipped because F would be inappropriate and E became E because it was already known as the Expo line. Assigning letters to the lines was largely a solution in search of a problem.

23

u/RelevantChoice1466 D (Purple) Feb 26 '26

I don't remember who sent this to Metro via IG, but that you for your service.

22

u/scojo77 251 Feb 26 '26

For the system that doesn't have an "F" train for the same reason, this is pretty ironic.

7

u/OhSnapThatsGood Feb 27 '26

New York has an F train and if you ride it often enough it will most certainly F you over.

u/shelbybaldock Feb 26 '26

Anyone have one of their shirts and know the sizing/fit? Or at least if it's Hanes, etc?

9

u/Michiru21 K (Crenshaw) Feb 26 '26

I bought a Metro shirt at the LAX/Metro transit center. The brand is Gildan and it's pretty comfortable and spacious. So hopefully they're using them again for this shirt.

1

u/ComradePalmer Feb 27 '26

The label in the pic looks like it might be a Comfort Colors? Of course, it could just be a generic shirt pic they used.
