In the Los Angeles area, recent World Cup games have provided an opportunity to showcase the region's public transit system. A local resident, who had not used the LA Metro in a decade, was pleasantly surprised by his experience. He found the system to be functioning well, which was not what he expected given its reputation.

This trial run is significant as it prepares for the 2028 Olympics, where organizers plan to hold a "no car" event. Further details about the plans and the current state of the public transit system are available from the source.

The World Cup games have served as a test for the transit system, allowing officials to introduce or reintroduce it to the public before the upcoming Olympics.
