The Metro D line, or Purple Line, will be out of service for 70 days due to ongoing construction, impacting the line from Union Station to Wilshire/Western. In its absence, B Line service will extend to cater to affected riders, with shuttle options available to Koreatown. The $2.4-billion expansion project aims to add seven stations and should be completed before the 2028 Olympics, although federal funding delays and material tariffs could hinder progress. Ridership on the combined lines exceeded 1.8 million last month, underscoring their importance to commuters.
