The public can begin taking the Metro D Line from downtown L.A. to Beverly Hills starting May 8, Metro Board Director Fernando Dutra announced Thursday.
New stations: Currently, the D Line runs from downtown L.A. to Koreatown. The 4-mile extension of the train will continue under Wilshire Boulevard and include stops at La Brea, Fairfax and La Cienega.
20 minute ride: With the extension, Metro estimates riders can get from downtown to Beverly Hills in around 20 minutes. “That’s transformative,” Dutra said at the board meeting Thursday.”That’s the kind of world-class transit system Angelenos deserve, and it’s about time.”

One of three extensions: Metro estimates the next two extensions of the D Line will be complete in time for the 2028 Games. The second extension, which will shuttle riders further west through Beverly Hills and Century City, is slated to open to the public in spring 2027. The final extension will bring riders to Westwood and the VA hospital, and is slated to open in fall 2027.
