OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS Junction Limitations Branched operations (e.g. Expo RB followed by Expo Norwalk) at a 6 min headway results in uneven headways (e.g. 5 min, then 7 min, then 5 min, etc. vs. an even 6 min headway) Design Capacity Design capacity does not allow better than a 5 min headway along the Crenshaw/LAX Line 8

Best matches current ridership patterns with most customers from I-105/Norwalk segment wanting to travel north into Central LA. Provides direct service for the greatest number of current riders. Provides even spacing between trains on all segments and matches Blue and Expo Line frequencies. Simple routing and consistent schedules make this alternative easy to navigate. Second least expensive alternative. 13
