North Hollywood

North Hollywood Station services the subterranean Red Line subway and the Orange Line dedicated bus lane, at platforms across the street from each other. They are connected by a crosswalk that floods with commuters whenever a train or bus arrives. Some run to the train platform lest they barely miss one; some race to the Orange Line when they see passengers boarding one of its buses.

The Orange Line station is nude and utilitarian except for a beautiful metalwork piece on the attractions of Los Angeles. The Red Line station has a plaza, busy with hot dog and jewelry vendors, with escalators descending to the platform.
