The Expo line is cool especially the elevated sections starting at LA brea station towards Santa Monica. Even the blue line has cool aerial sections.
Outside of LA, I like the elevated sections of elevated on Bart, on nyc boroughs, Seoul, Tokyo, Bangkok, Paris.
I prefer an elevated Vermont rail for the same reason. Most homes and businesses are 2 maybe 3 floors or less making the train views all over.the region.
I hate the subway, nothing to look at except the things people are doing wierd.

I basically agree. Most readers of this thread may be surprised to learn that 79% of the London Underground is actually above ground, or 40% of New York's Subway is actually above ground.
Basically, tunneling is only needed in the most dense neighborhoods.
Is Vermont Avenue that dense?
