Welcome Aboard
Setting the stage for the opening of the LAX/Metro Transit Center, the C and K Lines were reconfigured on November 3, 2024, and a shiny new station opened at Aviation/Century to connect riders to more jobs, local businesses and attractions.
What to Expect on November 3

- The K Line will operate between Expo/Crenshaw Station and Westchester/Veterans Station, and between the new Aviation/Century Station and Redondo Beach Station, a new end-of-line for the K Line. Check out the updated K Line schedule (effective 12/15) for improved connections between C and K Lines at Aviation/Century Station.

During this period, we’ll also be testing trains to prepare for the opening of the new LAX/Metro Transit Center Station. We promise to make the transition as smooth as possible, but you may see and hear old and new names at times as we test new service and open new stations.
