Agreed, I think there should be full preemption of every signal except Vermont and the pedestrian crossings adjacent to it, and 12th street. Hopefully Pico and 12th street get grade separated as part of the 28 by 28 project, then longer run I think extending the the USC tunnel/trench past Vermont is necessary, especially with all of the upgrades coming to Expo park. If you did the above, I'm confident the travel time would be below 40 minutes which would be competitive with driving most times of day.
The Gold line in Boyle Heights/East LA needs similar treatment.
