D Line (Los Angeles Metro)
The D Line (formerly the Red Line from 1993–2006 and the Purple Line from 2006–2020) is a fully underground rapid transit line in Los Angeles, California, running for 5.1 miles (8.2 km) between Koreatown and Downtown Los Angeles. It is the shortest of six lines of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system, operated by Los Angeles Metro.
The D Line is one of the city's two fully underground lines (along with the B Line). The two lines share tracks between Koreatown and Downtown Los Angeles. As of 2019[update], the combined B and D lines averaged 133,413 boardings per weekday.
In 2020, Metro renamed all of its lines using letters and colors, with the Purple Line becoming the D Line (retaining the purple color in its service bullet) and the Red Line becoming the B Line.
Construction is underway for a major extension of the line to the Mid-Wilshire district, Beverly Hills, Century City, and Westwood, which will add 7 stations and 9 miles of track to the line. The extension is expected to open in phases from 2026 to 2027.
The D Line is a 5.1-mile (8.2 km) line that begins at Wilshire/Western station in Koreatown. The line continues east for a mile to Wilshire/Vermont station, where the line merges with the B Line. The lines continue between Wilshire Boulevard and 7th Street (and briefly Ingraham Street), where the lines interchange with the A and E light rail lines at 7th Street/Metro Center station. The lines then pass northeast through Downtown Los Angeles, passing through the Financial District, Pershing Square (near the Historic Core), and the Civic Center, before terminating at Union Station.
The D Line runs below Wilshire Boulevard, which is served on the surface by the Metro Local Route 20 and Metro Rapid Route 720 bus lines. Despite the same service, Metro considers the bus service justified because both routes frequently run from Downtown Los Angeles. Unlike the D Line, which is still under construction, these bus routes run along the entire Wilshire corridor, west to Beverly Hills, Westwood, and Santa Monica.
D Line trains run every day between approximately 5 a.m. and midnight. Trains operate every 12 minutes during peak hours. Early morning and night service is approximately every 20 minutes.
