Location

The station was initially named Douglas/Rosecrans Ave but was later simplified to Douglas in 2003. This station was renovated in 2006 as part of street improvements in the area.

Under current Metro plans, the C and K Lines will be restructured by the end of 2024; Douglas station will be served by the K Line, while the C Line will be rerouted to terminate at the future LAX/Metro Transit Center station.

The train platform, currently suitable for two-car trains, is planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate longer three-car trains.
