LA Metro is a public transportation system serving the city of Los Angeles and its surrounding areas, including Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Pasadena. The system is operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), which was established in 1993 through the merger of the Southern California Rapid Transit District (SCRTD) and the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC). The LA Metro system is connected to other transportation systems in the region, including Metrolink and Amtrak, and provides convenient access to popular destinations such as Universal Studios Hollywood, Griffith Observatory, and Dodger Stadium.

The SCRTD was later merged with the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) to form the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) in 1993. The LACMTA has since expanded the system to include new lines, such as the Gold Line and the Expo Line, and has introduced new services, including the Metro Busway and the Metro Rail.
