In defense of the LA train system, most of the rolling stock on the Expo line are nice new trains, and Hollywood to Santa Monica via Downtown is almost the most pathological route between major destinations you can take in terms of car vs train.
I've been taking the Expo lately and it's already standing-only crowded during rush hour and heavily used off-peak.
