Ground was broken at the site of a future station in the El Segundo area Monday for the $886-million Metro Green Line, a 23-mile segment of a proposed 300-mile rail transit network to be developed over the next 30 years.
The Los Angeles County Transportation Commission said the Metro Green Line--the first fully automated rapid transit rail line in the United States--is scheduled to begin operation in 1994, with an expected 25,000 passengers a day.
The Green Line, beginning in Norwalk, will serve Downey, Lynwood, Wilmington, Los Angeles, Hawthorne, Inglewood, El Segundo, Westchester, and portions of Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, LACTC said.
