> Metro is growing, and that's great news for LA because we have big plans for new rail and busway lines in the coming years.

> To accommodate Metro’s growth and help everyone have a better journey, we’re updating our line naming convention to now include a letter in addition to color on all rail and busway lines.

> A temporary transitional naming system will help riders connect the letter to the color while we update customer information.
