Following a decision by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) not to purchase additional CRRC HR4000 trains, bids were sought for new subway trains. In January 2024, 182 cars were ordered from Hyundai Rotem, with options for 50 more cars. These will enter service prior to the 2028 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, with all trains in service by 2030.
