D Line Unlocks Wilshire Access with Three New Stops

TL;DR
Phase one of LA's D Line opens, adding three Wilshire Boulevard stations (La Brea–Fairfax, La Cienega) and extending service from downtown to Beverly Hills; the entire Metro system will be free from Friday morning through early Monday to celebrate, with two additional extensions planned for 2027 funded largely by Measure R. LAist notes funding challenges for its newsroom as it covers the transit expansion.
