@mrjerryoc went all in to meet with transit riders for the opening of the Metro D Line subway extension in Los Angeles, California on May 8, 2026. The transit extension adds three new stations along Wilshire Boulevard to Beverly Hills ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with two more extensions of the rail line planned to be completed before the 2028 Summer Olympics.
