LA CONNECTIONS

摘要

This is the city. Los Angeles, California. The City of Angels. The Automobile Mecca. The place that helped give rise to the words "smog" and "urban sprawl ."The city that once was home to one of the largest surface-running rail transit systems in the world, the Pacific Electric, until it was torn up and replaced with dicsel-powered buses, co-existing with a growing mass of private automobiles that over time turned the city's roads and highways into parking lots on steroids-which added to the smog.
