By Libby Rainey/ Originally published May 22 The much anticipated rail line that will connect Azusa to Long Beach and Santa Monica to East Los Angeles will open on June 16. The regional connector will also make transfers easier for people using other lines. The Red, Gold, Expo and Purple lines will all stop at 7th and Metro. Public meetings on the regional connector began way back in 2009 — when an story optimistically reported: When it happens, it will be a one seat ride from Long Beach to Pasadena and Culver City (or perhaps Santa Monica) to East LA without an extra fare or timely transfer (officials say you can save up to 21 minutes on an end-to-end commute).
