Continue here.One of the more intriguing mass transit projects that has been talked about for years -- they usually require decades of talk before actually getting built -- is the downtown connector, also known as the regional connector. It's a line that would connect present and future light-rail lines, the idea being to eliminate time-munching transfers.

Read about it here.DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - One of Downtown Los Angeles’ most anticipated projects is the Regional Connector, an approximately two-mile route that would tie together existing and future light rail lines. Yet despite the appetite for such infrastructure, questions remain over what form it will take, and community members continue to debate how much it should impact street life, especially in Little Tokyo.
