In the wake of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) D Line station opening at Wilshire and La Cienega boulevards, business owners in the area have reported little change in customer traffic.

The D Line expansion offers a 22-minute trip from Beverly Hills to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles. Stations at Wilshire Boulevard and La Brea Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue also opened May 8. The Wilshire/La Cienega station will serve as an end-of-line station until the line expands west to future stations at Beverly Drive, Century City and Westwood in 2027.
