"'The Metro Orange Line is the Valley's new shortcut,' said Zev Yaroslavsky, Los Angeles County Supervisor, who is credited with spearheading development of the line. 'The Metro Orange Line may well be the way Los Angeles addresses its public transit challenges in the years ahead. It is inexpensive, comfortable, fast, dependable and quiet. I am convinced that it's the alternative to freeway congestion that Angelenos have been looking for.'"
