Metro Train Lines
The Green Line goes east from near LAX connecting with the Blue Line in central LA and continuing east to Norwalk. (There's a shuttle bus from LAX to the Green Line station.)The Blue Line runs from Long Beach to Downtown LA where it meets the Red Line.
The Red Line runs from Union Station west through downtown and up through Hollywood to North Hollywood. A branch of the Red Line diverts at Wilshire and Vermont and travels two more stops west down Wilshire. This will eventually be part of the Purple Line along Wilshire to the beach.
The Gold Line runs from Union Station northeast to Pasadena.
The Metro Orange Line (through the San Fernando Valley) and Wilshire Rapid Express (downtown to Santa Monica Pier) are express buses that operate on proposed future train routes. They show up as thinner orange and purple lines on Metro train maps.
Additional Metro buses extend routes from Metro stations to areas not reached by the trains. Other local transit systems also have buses that serve Metro stations.
