洛杉矶利用 2026 年世界杯的契机，展示了其升级后的公共交通系统，并测试了举办“无车”奥运会的交通方案 [1]。在 7 月西班牙对阵奥地利的比赛中，近 50,000 人次乘坐地铁，30,000 人次乘坐接驳巴士 [1]。尽管当地居民对地铁的安全性和可靠性仍有顾虑，但通过增加接驳巴士、优化支付方式和举办球迷活动，公共交通的使用率有所提升 [1]。
为应对即将到来的 2028 年奥运会，洛杉矶交通局计划借用约 3,000 辆巴士以应对客流需求 [1]。同时，该机构计划在 2029 年前完全部署自有警察部队以替代 LAPD [1]。随着赛事临近，轨道交通扩建工程也在加速推进；其中 D 线延长段于 5 月开通，这是自 2020 年以来美国首个重型铁路扩建项目 [1]。此外，在公共交通升级期间，洛杉矶地区的暴力犯罪率同比下降了 13.6% [1]。
Los Angeles is leveraging the 2026 FIFA World Cup to demonstrate its enhanced public transportation system while testing strategies for a vehicle-free Olympic Games in 2028 [1]. During the match between Spain and Austria on July 7, nearly 50,000 people utilized subway services and approximately 30,000 rode connecting buses [1]. To support future demand from the Olympics, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation plans to deploy roughly 3,000 additional buses [1]. The D Line extension opened in May as the first heavy rail expansion project in the United States since 2020 [1].
Despite lingering resident concerns regarding subway safety and reliability, public transit ridership has increased through measures such as adding shuttle services, optimizing payment methods, and hosting fan events [1]. In March of this year, violent crime rates in Los Angeles dropped by 13.6% compared to the previous period [1]. Looking ahead to 2029, the LA Department of Transportation intends to fully deploy its own police force to replace the LAPD [1]. The city is simultaneously accelerating rail expansion projects to accommodate anticipated passenger volumes for the upcoming Olympic Games [1].
