California Dreamin' of Subways: Fact or Fiction?

The Golden State's Subterranean Showdown
California has a bit of an identity crisis when it comes to subways. On one hand, you have sprawling cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. Cities that, by all rights, should have a robust subway system. On the other hand, California also whispers sweet nothings of car culture and wide-open freeways. So, what gives?
Los Angeles: City of Angels (with a Light Rail)
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Los Angeles does have a subway system, folks! It's called the Metro Rail, and while it's not quite as extensive as some East Coast giants, it's definitely there. Think of it as the fun, slightly less crowded cousin of the New York City subway.

San Francisco throws a bit of a curveball. Sure, they have the iconic cable cars that tourists flock to see, but a traditional subway? Nope. They do have a light rail system called Muni Metro, but it's a smaller operation compared to Los Angeles.
