Gold Line Art and Eats

Cheap L.A. Travel
The Metro is hands-down the best travel bargain in the greater Los Angeles area. You can buy a one way ticket for $1.50. Or an all-day pass for $6. For seniors the one way fare is 55¢ and an all-day pass is only $1.80. On weekends and off-peak hours seniors can travel one-way for a mere 25¢!

Bike and Ride
There are bike racks at most Metro Gold Line Stations. At some stations there are also bike lockers. Bikes may also be taken onto the trains.

The Los Angeles "Culture Line"

The Metro Gold Line could easily be called the "Culture Line" for greater Los Angeles. There are six fascinating museums within easy walking distance of its stations--unlike any other Metro line. Additionally, each station has its own unique works of art, some of which are shown below.

For most of its length the Metro Gold Line runs above ground giving passengers views of dozens of Los Angeles neighborhoods--from downtown to eastern Pasadena, from Little Tokyo to East L.A.
