Updated Los Angeles section on 5/22/16 now that Metro Expo Line Phase 2 has opened and that we are planning to ride in July 2016 anything that has opened since our last visit in 2009.  Also added mention of Perris Valley extension of Metrolink 91 Line on 6/6/16; however with its initial schedule it will be impossible for us to ride it on PCRF 2016.
