My favorite is this one time when this blond lady who looked like a meth addict started mumbling very loudly, "F*cking illegals," "Go back to where you came from. About 90% of the bus was Latino. Another 5% was Asian, including myself. So I turned around and said to her, "I don't think that language is appropriate." To which she screamed back at me, "F*CK YOU! F*cking chink!" Ahhhh the bus. You get a real look at the society in which we live.

If you're in the mood to experience the city like a tourist, try this bus- you'll see pretty much all stereotypes of the city in about 75 minutes. A few times that I've taken this to UCLA, an independent tour guide was showing off the sights, so I've even learned a few things. However, don't naively believe that because this bus claims 24 hour service that it will be easy to catch after 7 pm.

Metro local lines to the valley, Pasadena, Burbank Airport and Metrolink all stop here. There's also a Santa Clarita express bus stop too. There is a Throne public restroom with running water and is relatively clean. It requires you to scan a QR code to get an access code texted to you. It seems to help the restroom cleaner and safe for customers. You can almost always see security and LAPD walking around the street and turnstile areas. This location requires TAP to enter and exit. Plenty of paid parking. There's also restaurants around if you need.

I have also most recently used the metro to head into Hollywood and catch a show at the Pantages. The North Hollywood metro is at the end of the line and heads all the way to Union Station. There is a Throne bathroom that was recently installed so you can use the restroom. There is also a large parking lot so you can pay for cheap parking and then ride the metro to your desired destination. They also recently added those gate entrances to tap out to ensure that everyone had paid for the metro and didn't just jump the turnstiles. Overall a good station that I used frequently. Maybe not as frequently as Universal City since I live directly in between the two but a good one nonetheless.

A goes from campus all the way past the row and drops off/picks up on the popular streets where students live so this is great if you don't want to walk all the way home lol. A is more of an outside loop while B goes inside more, but you can find a live map here that tells you where the stops are and where the tram is at the moment: http://www.usctrams.com/map So legit!

This volume is frequently annoying (local neighborhood lines, HSC, Union Station) but can even be to the point of eardrum pain for passengers on the Marina Del Rey shuttle (2010). Management acknowledged the problem but implied the problem was unsolvable. 3) Unskilled drivers accelerate fast enough to knock over students not yet to their seats, run red lights, actually close doors ONTO entering passengers, and management was hiring some extremely rude and uncouth people to drive 2007-2009. Drivers do seem to have improved in 2010/11 - though I use the service less regularly and could be mistaken. All events were not just repeatedly but consistently experienced in the year listed.

No stacked parking if you get here by about 6pm - but you may experience the stacked parking blockage on your way out after the show. They put in some landscaping and added more parking spaces.

This location is convenient to me in terms of closeness but that's about where it stops. I always…read moreget to the bowl about 1 hr in advance of a show which leaves me able to find parking here easily and grab a shuttle easily! However, this location doesn't limit the amount of people who can buy shuttle tickets from here, leaving way more people buying tickets than there are spots available to actually park. So, after a fun show at the Bowl and a quick shuttle ride back, you get to enjoy the luxury of waiting at your car that has been double, triple, or (believe it or not!) quadruple parked!! It's gotten so bad that one time upon carpooling with a friend, I took an uber home as I had an early morning and it was only until after I had returned home, showered and gotten ready for bed, that I received a text from my friend that she was finally able to leave this lot. 2 star because I've never had any issues w the Bowl staff / parking lot staff / Shuttle staff that work here.

Very busy Metro Station in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles regardless of the time of day. A two…read morelevel station with multiple trains and subways coming and going all day. The 7th Street/Metro Station trains and subways connect you with Union Station, the Valley/North Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Long Beach, and Pamona. The station is very clean considering how busy it is with so many people. This station has a very NYC feel to it. There is a large and visible security and police presence which makes this station feel safe. Unlike most Metro stations, you'll see unhoused and sketchy people at this location. However, it feels safe because of the large Police presence. Just my experience.

You can connect with the Metro Blue (A) and Expo Line (E) lines on the upper platform or the Red (B) and Purple (D) on the lower platforms not to mention the Silver (J) line above ground. There are tap stands and gates at every entrance and exit, even between switch and when you tap between trains it simple "Transfers" and doesn't reduce your fare at all. I think I had three transfers from near Studio City to NoHo to this station to the Blue line the other day... Was kind of cool! Definitely enjoy going green and riding metro when I can. I did here a rumor that the new K (Pink) Line might extend over to here as well at some point which would be pretty great. It's often busy here and the Expo and Blue are constantly running. The Red and Purple lines don't run as frequently as the others and as the day goes on, but it's about a 10 minute wait usually until after 5 PM where things shift and by night maybe every 15 to 30 minutes. I believe eventually Metro and this station will get back to later hours again and eventually run all night. Great Metro staff and the most you'll see at any station other than Union station. You can catch trains and/or exit from through The Bloc shopping center or across the street on the corner of 7th & Flower St.

The driver then starts screaming that of course they were broken, and how dare we touch them. shaming us all and expecting us to tell they were broken even though there are no signs and the seats look no different than your average folded seats on public transport.
