Thanks for sharing. I wasn't in LA when the blue line opened and even after I moved here I didn't ride it until I moved to Long Beach in the mid-90's.The entrance to Pico station was at the front (I think now you can enter from either end, but I'm not 100% sure about that), so people tended to board the first car. Yeah, when they lengthened the platforms they must have added another entrance because you can now board Pico and Washington from either end. The south end of Pico is still much busier because that's where all of the bus connections are. Grand is more evenly distributed because most LA Trade Tech students use the north end, but south is still busier. FTR this touches on why I always usually try to ride the southern end of the trains. This is especially true heading north but I do it no matter which way I'm headed. The blue line platform entrances aren't distributed very evenly. From Willow to 7th/metro heading north, IIRC the only stations that have entrances on the south end are: Willow, Wardlow, Firestone, Slauson, Grand and Pico. When headed north on the weekends the first two cars can be very crowded witha couple dozen standing yet there may still be empty seats in the last car. |
