Earlier today Metro released an adorable video touting all the benefits of their forthcoming light rail extension. The video stars the endearing and enthusiastic Los Angeles County 3rd District Supervisor, Sheila Kuehl, who proudly declares, "We’ve been waiting 50 years for this day—a train from downtown to the beach, and back!" The partially animated promo features Kuehl riding the new line while celebrating the ability to text, nap and relax on a commute that cuts down on smog and traffic congestion for the entire city. The long-awaited Expo Line extension officially opens for service on Friday, May 20. While we’re hesitantly ecstatic that the extension will live up to its promises of a painless commute between the Eastside and Westside, we’re completely charmed by Keuhl and her glowing endorsement.
