The main street of East LA is Whittier; why does the Gold Line run on 3rd, which has minimal commercial development, of the liquor store and drive-thru McDonald's variety?</strong> A. Whittier is already developed; 3rd is where we can hand off property to developers at cutthroat prices. <strong>Q. I live on Wilshire. Why do I have to transfer at Union Station to get to East LA?</strong> A. So that people in East LA have to transfer to get to the West Side. If Those People have a one-seat ride to the West Side, the world will end. Q.

It would be odd to disembark at Union Station and wait for another train on the same track. Is there some special opening day timetable?
