Location

Downtown Long Beach (formerly Transit Mall) is the southern terminus of the A Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail. It is located on 1st Street between Pine Avenue and Pacific Avenue in Downtown Long Beach, California. The at-grade station is located in a loop and only offers northbound service to Downtown Los Angeles.

It is a key part of the Long Beach Transit Mall, which extends along 1st Street between Pacific Avenue and Long Beach Boulevard. As the city's major transit center, this section of 1st Street is closed to private vehicles and only trains and transit vehicles are allowed.

In 2010, a $7 million project was undertaken by Long Beach Transit to upgrade the transit mall. New bus shelters were constructed, with improved lighting and new artwork. The project was completed in spring 2011.[1][2]

During the 2028 Summer Olympics, the station will serve spectators traveling to and from Olympic venues located in Long Beach.[3]
