North Hollywood to the culture campus around the LACMA is the type of transit trip unlocked by the new D Line. Fast underground heavy rail the entire way, with a transfer at Wilshire/Vermont. Avoids parking costs and notorious rush hour bottlenecks.

📸 🚇 Great to meet photographer KEN KARAGOZIAN and check out his gallery exhibition documenting construction of the D Line

🚇 💜 Google maps says it would take 40mins to drive this 12mi trip right now Ride the D and it takes you under 19min

I can’t wait to #RideTheD this afternoon Zipping underground from Beverly Hills to Downtown will feel like a break in the traffic-clogged space-time continuum of LA 🚇❤️

I found my fave new spot at the remade LACMA- a breezy landing on the main level of the David Geffen Galleries So much to delight the eye looking west a Culture Campus decades in the making As of May 8th, all you need to do to get there is #RidetheD

Excited to be visiting the David Geffen Galleries at LACMA for the first time today. I’m intrigued by the shape of the new building and the unorthodox philosophy of presenting the collection (1/?)
