Once, a decade or so ago, not long after my son’s tenth birthday, he and I spent a morning and an afternoon trying to ride every mile of rail in the system: Koreatown to Sierra Madre to Long Beach. I have been a Metro rider since I moved here from New York in 1991 the development of the system-mixing light-rail with a subway-has often felt to me like a promise, or a dream. The simplest of acts, the sort of urban interaction I was raised to take for granted, and yet at this time, in this city, I keep thinking of it as revolutionary. It’s a misty Monday morning in Los Angeles, and I’m boarding the Expo Line at Jefferson and La Cienega, headed for downtown.
