16.06.2023	Three downtown underground LRT stations have been already opened. These are Grand Av Arts/Bunker Hill, Historic Broadway, Little Tokyo/Arts District stations, built under the brand of The Regional Connector Transit Project. Thus, the two previously separated LRT networks (A and E line on one hand, and the former L line on the other) are now connected. Two through-running services have been introduced: A Line — Downtown Long Beach — APU/Citrus College, 78.1 km (48.5 miles), E Line — Downtown Santa Monica — Atlantic, 35 km (22 miles). Thereby, the A Line has become the world's longest tram/streetcar/LRT line (78.1 km/48.5 miles), surpassing the previous record holder of Kussttram (Coastal Tram) in Belgium (69 km).

Линия состоит из 7 станций: Expo/Crenshaw, (подземная, пересадка на наземную станцию Expo/Crenshaw линии E), Martin Luther King Jr. (подземная), Leimert Park (подземная), Hyde Park (наземная), Fairview Heights (наземная), Downtown Inglewood (наземная), Westchester/Veterans (наземная). Длина новой линии 13,5 км.
02.11.2019	Линия скоростного трамая Blue Line открыта после реконструкции. Линия получила новое обозначние A Line, вместе с этим изменена нумерация других линий скоростного трамвая и метро: Blue Line стала A Line, Red Line стала B Line, Green Line стала C Line, Purple Line стала D Line, Expo Line стала E Line, Gold Line стала L Line. Таже изменили обозначения линии "скоростного автобуса" Orange Line и Silver Line, они стали G Line и J Line соответственно.
