Los Angeles Metro Rail
Before the Los Angeles Metro Rail, the transit system Pacific Electric Railway was present in serving passengers of the Los Angeles County from 1901 to 1961. In 1964, the Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD) began operation. In 1980, Proposition A, which was a tax dedicated to funding transportation, was passed and gave way to the construction of transit lines. The Blue Line, the first light rail transit line in Los Angeles constructed since Proposition A, would open on July 14, 1990. On February 1, 1993, the SCRTD along with its rival the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) merged and formed the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA).
