Thanks for the news Joshua! The Metro Board today approved the purchase of 28 new light rail cars to use on the Crenshaw Line. From my reading, 22 are for Crenshaw, not 28. This two options combined will result in purchase of 97 new LRVs (beyond the initial order). Of these, 22 will be used for the Crenshaw/LAX Line, and the other 75 will replace existing LRVs which will be at their end-of-life (old P865s and P2020s). The original request was for 78 LRVs (known as the P3010), which are needed for Expo and Gold Line operations. And, Metro still has two more options, potentially allowing purchase of another 60 LRVs.
