With the newly-restored Angels Flight railway back in service, the Red Line has also become the perfect mode of choice, with the 4th street exits just a stone's throw away from the Flight. With the opening of the North Hollywood extension, the subway will be even more popular with local residents and visiting tourists alike. One way tickets are valid traveling away from the station of purchase, and are good for two hours. Round-trip tickets run until the end of the operating day. Seven days a week, including holidays.
Vandalism is nonexistent, and the stations and cars are always bright and clean.
Although Los Angeles is prone to seismic activity, the MTA contends that the Red Line, as well as all modern subway systems are safe. In fact, the subway is one of the safest places to be - there are no structures or falling objects to endanger you. The tunnels and stations are designed to sway with the earth, and not collapse. Also, it is a scientific fact that seismic waves are milder below the surface. In the event of a magnitude 4.5 earthquake or higher, trains will automatically stop.
