caption_attribution_description: English: The entrance to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Wilshire/Western station, western terminus of the Metro Purple Line in Los Angeles, California, USA.
context_page_description: Wilshire/Western is the current western terminus of the D Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail. As its name implies, the subway station is located at Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue, in Los Angeles' Mid-Wilshire/Koreatown District. It is one of only two subway stations in the system not shared with the B Line.
  Prior plans called for this subway to extend to Fairfax Ave. and then north into the Valley but due to political disagreements, the line currently terminates here and the B Line travels to the Valley via Vermont Avenue. Metro is now currently constructing the Purple Line Extension to extend the Purple Line west from this station to Westwood/VA Hospital station in Westwood, near UCLA.
  The two artwork installations at Wilshire/Western are called "People Coming", and the other "People Going". They are large murals at each end of the station. The artist responsible is Richard Wyatt, a Lynwood native.
