Green line connects to several
extremely heavily used N-S bus lines on Hawthrone Blvd (40 & 740), Crenshaw Blvd (210 & 710), Vermont Ave (204 & 754), and Long Beach Blvd (60 & 760). Not to mention the Blue line and Silver line, which combined has over 100,000 average weekday boardings.
So yea... nowhere to nowhere with nobody...
As you point out, a large number of users, probably invisible to most people on FT.
The problem is that "everyone" thinks it's "nobody" because "everyone" drives. LA is a huge place with a huge population and a large amount of that population doesn't have the means to own a vehicle. So, they take public transportation - primarily in the form of buses. Something that "everyone" wouldn't dare think of doing.
So much snobbery involved in public transportation planning.
