The subway system in LA is relatively new. I can't remember when they
developed it but I think it was somewhere in the past five to ten
years. I remember that there was a lot of television coverage of it at
the time, even in the SF Bay area. If I remember right, there is an
above-the-ground part and an underground part, but I haven't been to
LA recently to try it out.
