With 4 million inhabitants, LA is the centre of a metropolitan area which is home to some 14 million people within a narrow stretch of land between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mountain ranges in Southern California. After all streetcar lines had been closed down by 1963, LA became the model for a car-friendly city. Finally in the 1980s, the county and region decided to return to rail-based public transport and to build a network of metro and light rail lines. The current system of LA metro rail as its shown in the map has a total length of ~170 km (05/2016), with two subway lines (Red & Purple Line) and four largely grade-separated LRT lines (Blue, Green, Gold and Expo Lines).
