Metro Rail D Line is one of the two subway lines in Los Angeles. This line entirely underground from Union Station in Downtown LA to Wilshire & Western in Koreatown.

This line used to be a part of the B Red line service, but it got a separate color in 2007 when plans for further extension of the branch from Wilshire & Western moved forward. This line charges the same fares as other bus and light rail lines, and is also the only subway system that uses the proof of payment fare system. However turnstiles have been installed at stations to address the perception of high fare evasion.

Schedules

Purple line trains run every 10 minutes during weekday peak hours, every 12 minutes midday, and every 20 minutes from about 8pm to after midnight. Weekend daytime service runs about every 12-15 minutes. Service between Wilshire/Vermont and LA Union is twice as frequent because of the parallel Red line service.

At Union Station, the Purple Line connects with Metro L Line as well as Metrolink and Amtrak. At 7th Street/Metro Center in downtown, it connects with Metro A Line to Long Beach.
