This dream metro map made CurbedLA drool
LA used to be a well-connected dream city for public transportation until car culture took over. We take a look at a map that envisions Los Angeles as a great public transportation city again.

LA used to be a well-connected dream city for public transportation until car culture took over. We take a look at a map that envisions Los Angeles as a great public transportation city again.

This November, LA County voters will vote on Measure M, also known as the Los Angeles Traffic Improvement Plan.

It would extend the half-cent sales tax that's currently funding transportation projects in the county. If passed, it's estimated to generate more than $850 million dollars a year. That's enough to make some public transit riders dream about how we'll get around LA in the future.

Adam Linder, a public transportation enthusiast, put his metro dreams in map form -- and it caught the attention of Curbed LA, which dubbed its detail "mesmerizing."

After that we was so inspired he drew up another dream map for 2090.
