In the winter 2010-11 edition of Metro Motion we tag along on a trip down the Metro Red Line with actor and regular Metro rider Vincent Kartheiser of TV's "Mad Men." Kartheiser abandoned his car for public transit to help make Los Angeles -- and the world -- a better place. He says the switch has improved his life, as well as his commute.
In the Fall 2010 edition, Metro Motion examines the difference 10 years has made for development along the Red Line in Hollywood, suggesting what awaits L.A. County should Congress pass the 30/10 plan; another piece visits Metro's Central Maintenance Shops -- the so-called E.R. for buses; another takes in cool, creative Los Feliz for new food and old Hollywood history and finally, L.A.
