You will notice the ceilings with the old film reels, which is pretty neat. They are not real though, just decorative art. At a recent weekday visit, this station was a little bit on the emptier side, and I didn't see any transit ambassadors or anything. But, the station has many people walking through the station in the daytime. You will be walking up or down two floors of escalators, depending on the direction you are coming from. This station is a little dim on the upper levels, but it is bright on the train level. There are no down escalators to the train level though. Only stairs. There is an elevator, though I did not take it, but did see it there. General travel during the day, this station seems fine. It's the B Line (formerly the Red Line) that runs through here.

The Los Angeles Metro Expo/Crenshaw Station consists of two distinct parts, located very close to…read moreeach other to make it a transfer station. In effect, it connects the East-West Metro E Line (Expo) to the North-South Metro K Line (Pink), making it a very important station for people trying to get to the airport and sporting venues like Sofi Stadium and Kia Spectrum. The at-grade station servicing the E Line opened on 2012, and was a stop on Phase I connecting downtown LA to Culver City. The underground station being the current terminus of the K Line, opened in 2022. It is quite deep underground (maybe 120 feet), having to take stairs to get to an intermediate floor, and then a long escalator to get to ground level. The two lines do not share a common track, and because the original station is outside, one has to walk street level and possibly cross a busy street to be able to connect. That's what I ended up doing when trying to exit the underground coming from Inglewood, and trying to catch the East bound 'E' train to downtown Los Angeles. Not ideal. The long term goal of the K line is to continue north, connecting to the D line and ultimately the B line. Since both of those lines run underground, it makes sense that this station would be as well. And the connection to make a transfer should be a lot better than what it is in Crenshaw/Expo.

You can connect with the Metro Blue (A) and Expo Line (E) lines on the upper platform or the Red (B) and Purple (D) on the lower platforms not to mention the Silver (J) line above ground. There are tap stands and gates at every entrance and exit, even between switch and when you tap between trains it simple "Transfers" and doesn't reduce your fare at all. I think I had three transfers from near Studio City to NoHo to this station to the Blue line the other day... Was kind of cool! Definitely enjoy going green and riding metro when I can. I did here a rumor that the new K (Pink) Line might extend over to here as well at some point which would be pretty great. It's often busy here and the Expo and Blue are constantly running. The Red and Purple lines don't run as frequently as the others and as the day goes on, but it's about a 10 minute wait usually until after 5 PM where things shift and by night maybe every 15 to 30 minutes. I believe eventually Metro and this station will get back to later hours again and eventually run all night. Great Metro staff and the most you'll see at any station other than Union station. You can catch trains and/or exit from through The Bloc shopping center or across the street on the corner of 7th & Flower St.

We had to use the Metro because parking at Exposition Park was sold out per information on an email. Tim knew that the 7th Street Station in Downtown LA would get us to the concert. We parked around 6th and Flower in a metered street parking. It's free after 10pm. Uhg. It's better than parking in a paid lot. We got Tap Cards at a kiosk, entered the station, hopped on the Metro, and got to Exposition Park in no time! Note: it's not the cleanest nor the safest. We just walked quickly and maintained awareness of our surroundings.

The train passed through it, sometimes stopped here and the beautiful architecture in Mission Revival-style got my attention. Some trains don't stop here, so check their schedules. It is a great option if you live in the Valley. They have a free, big parking lot, machines work ok, restrooms are clean enough, they could have more people working here, but that's something I could say about most of them. Nice seating area, outdoor stop, very pretty, typical old LA amazing buildings. Some scenes for movies were shot here, which isn't surprising. Great option for catching the train!

One thing…read moreI note is that some Amtrak trains like Coast starlight which goes all the way to Seattle (Doesn't stop here it'll just pass through). However as this is the closest station I aim to either go here or to Los Angeles. Usually I get a ride or uber or take access services home. However I tried to catch the bus from here and I think they're all Glendale beeline operated now. This has its ups and downs, like one it's cleaner and more frequent, and the other is getting here past 8pm or late night and there's no service, same for any time on holidays or late night weekends. If you need to take the bus home later than 6pm, I suggest you go through Burbank as metro always operates. The ambience is clean sometimes it may be a little loud especially w the trains coming but it's safer than having to be at Los Angeles at midnight. If I could change one thing about this station I'd say have buses run laters like the Metrolink and Amtrak trains do. Even have a line run a holiday schedule so those who need the bus don't gotta walk a few blocks to catch the metro (if it even runs where you need to go). My opinion is it is cleaner but transit equity is limited here it's needs more access to public transit.

(The younger, like his uncle, is mildly obsessed with public transportation and even served on the SFMTA youth board or commission or whatever.) Both of them enjoy experiencing parts of L.A. in ways they never have before, so I'm the "local" tour guide and expert. I didn't plan our day very well a few years back, so we needed to end our excursion early. We were headed west on the E Line. I was trying to think of an interestingly different way to get back to where we had caught a different train earlier, but time was ticking, so our only real option was to get off the train at Expo/Western and turn around. This is a "far-side" station, meaning that each direction has its own platform and that those platforms are past the street (in this case, Western Avenue). So we off-boarded past Western, and wouldn't you know it?--an eastbound train was coming, but because of the far-side situation, we had to cross the street twice to get over to the eastbound platform. We ran, but we didn't make it in time. I proceeded to explain to my charges that Western used to be the western boundary of Los Angeles and that a few miles north of here, at the corner of Western Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard, there was an underground Metro station for the D Line, which we had briefly ridden earlier in the day. As we talked and I answered questions, I was surprised by how many people started to fill up the platform. Granted, we had to wait more than ten minutes, but it was not quite rush hour on a weekday; where were all these people going? Its platforms are pretty long, so there's plenty of room to spread out. It was surprisingly clean, and at least on the platform itself--it's a whole other story on the train--I didn't feel unsafe, either as an out-of-town tourist or as a seasoned public-transit rider.

Farmdale station is close to several mom and pop places off Jefferson and one of my favorite new breweries Party Beer Co which makes it amazing for keeping safe and simple #drinkresponsibly. The platforms going east or westbound have ramps for persons with disabilities as well as safe and easy street crossing. The lot for this station is non-existent as it is smaller and not near major intersections limiting you to street parking if local to the area. There is oddly enough a ticket terminal just beyond the intersection of Exposition and Farmdale where this station resides in the direction of Jefferson Blvd that feels out of place but is also convenient for reloading or purchasing a TAP card for all local metro services. I'm not sure if it was apart of the original stop before remodeling in the past or a former hub for other services, but it's semi-covered by a lot of natural plants and trees in the neighborhood. Overall a stop and station with a few hidden conveniences.
