The EXPO line has already met its 2020 ridership goals, according to a new report from JLL. The EXPO line opened in late 2016, connecting Downtown to Santa Monica. Last year, there was a 49% increase in ridership, enough to bring the line to 2020 projections. Despite the popularity of the EXPO line, other metro lines are seeing a decrease in ridership.
