    M favorite bus to ride in the SFV! I love walking everywhere but once I get to 20,000 steps, I need to stop and take this friendly neighborhood bus from Burbank Blvd to Ventura Blvd and it's only 25 cents!! Such a deal to do my loop around the valley since my car is in NY. All the Dash drivers are so nice!! Text LAdot and the bus stop number for the latest updates

    Public transit in the city of Los Angeles has much room for improvement... but when it comes to getting around downtown LA in the daylight hours, the Downtown DASH is immensely more convenient than being one of the many frustrated individuals behind the wheel giving death stares to every car in their path. With routes between the Financial District, Little Tokyo, USC, Fashion District, LA Live, etc http://www.ladottransit.com/dash/routes/downtown/downtown.php, the price is only a mere $0.50 cents per ride to get anywhere. I admit that I remember paying only $0.25 cents... then $0.35 cents just a few years ago, but still, such a small fare increase is nothing compared to paying several dollars for pricey metered, garage, or valet parking! I take the DASH multiple times per week + have never had a problem getting from one place to another on time. The buses come every 5-10 mins between 6am to 6:30pm (frequency + hours vary depending on which route you're taking), + the bus drivers are pretty consistent about sticking to their schedule so that you can plan accordingly. When in doubt, you can always text "LADOT ####" with the 4-digit bus stop number you're at to 41411, + you'll get an immediate text back of approximately when the next bus will be arriving. Calling 213-785-3858 + entering the bus stop number will also give you the same results. In my experience, the response given to me is a pretty large overestimate of the actual time it took until the next bus came... but again, at least they're consistent, + I'd rather it be this way than the other way around. And of course, I acknowledge the hesitation of my female peers in taking public transit alone (especially after hearing about what happened on a Metro bus just last week), but I have yet to personally experience any reason to feel unsafe on the DASH. Sure there's a few interesting characters every once in a while who I wouldn't want to catch the eye or a whiff of when they board the bus, but like most people in big cities, everyone tends to keep to themselves. It's all about using common sense + keeping your eyes open. The bus drivers are usually friendly, knowledgeable in answering any questions you may have about the stops + are fairly wary about their surroundings. Perhaps one of the most touching acts of kindness I've ever witnessed was just last week when one bus driver unexpectedly stopped at a corner just to get the attention of a homeless peddler on the corner + hand him a dollar. In the middle of the Financial District when I'm sure the man is passed by + ignored by hundreds of people a day, a kind-hearted bus driver is probably the last person anyone would think to stop to help him out. Have a Happy Monday everyone! I've got a bus to catch. =)

    These guys don't know what a time schedule is.  Two are seen here, 1 is late the other on time.  Sometimes 3 follow each other.

    We took the free LAX shuttle to the LAX Metro Transit Center when we flew into LAX. Instead of…read morepaying for an UBER/Lyft from the airport, we opted to shuttle to the transit center first and get our rideshare to pick us up at there. It worked out pretty well I think. We found the shuttle fairly easily, look for the pink shuttle (that is not an employee one) from the transportation area. We got on and had plenty of space to sit and store our luggage. We got off and followed the signs. I had to ask staff where the rideshare pick up point was and he pointed us in that direction. Since the station is new, it may not register on the maps, so make sure you use the address on the sign (9225 Aviation Blvd), so it's easy for the drivers to find. There is a large area for pickup and it's a matter of the drivers finding you. The new transit center was constructed in preparation for the upcoming 2028 Olympics but locals can enjoy its use now and in years to come. I have not tried getting dropped off at the transit center yet to go to the airport but I imagine you'd have to plan ahead to get to your flight on time. Other reviewers have noted that shuttles pick up here for SoFi Stadium on game days so that's better than paying extra for parking at the stadium when it costs upwards of $70 per vehicle on gamedays.

They've spent almost a billion dollars on this station so that we can eventually have more seamless connection between the LA Metro Rail system and LAX. The station connects to the pink/K line (which connects to the expo line in USC/LA/Santa Monica) and the green/C line (which connects to the A line in Long Beach and DTLA). The reason I came here on Sunday was to take advantage of the complementary SoFi Stadium shuttle that connects this metro station to SoFi Stadium. When the Rams or Chargers have a game day, they offer complimentary shuttles that run every five minutes. This is a big deal because parking at SoFi can cost $75-$120 per vehicle, which is ridiculous. Comparatively, the cost of the LA Metro is $1.50 per person in each direction. The master plan is for a people mover to operate between this station and LAX. It was originally slated to be open in January 2026; however, it's looking like it will be open much later in that year. As it stands, I feel that this project is still a project and I'm rooting for it. It can be a key component to greatly improve the dreadful experience at LAX and we need for this to succeed. Let's see where it takes us.

There's a lot of great stuff to explore! Currently the end of the Purple/D Line route (at least until 2025) - Wilshire/Western Station is not only a huge connecting hub to lots of great spaces, but also local metro routes. One of the cleanest stations, easy to use and access - attendants/metro staff is always chill and friendly. The escalators are usually working here compared to others that can go down from time to time as well as the elevators. You can purchase a pass at one of several terminals for $1 and either add stored value ($.175 each way with transfers), daily (day pass) and/or monthly riding. Discounts for students, seniors and income based fares as well. No parking at this station directly, however definitely plenty of connections.

    Originally opening in 1996 as the final station of the LA Metro Purple Line (now officially the D…read moreline), Wilshire/Western is an underground station 50 - 70 feet below ground. It serves as one of the primary stations for Koreatown, and one I've used a multitude of times. There is a large open air plaza right above, making its entrance easy to recognize, but also serving as a magnet for vagrants. It is close to a variety of businesses (mostly Korean) that we frequent. It has served as the end of the very short D Line for a long time (and thus both sides of the platform has trains going to the same place), but will lose that title once the D Line extension (taking it all the way to UCLA) is done. The next segment will open in May 2026, going to Beverly Hills, then Century City, then finally to Westwood. One thing to note is I noticed the use of train cars with a different configuration that I'm used to on LA Metro. Instead of having seats facing forward/backward four across, this configuration has a lot more seats up against the wall, eliminating having to sit where someone could be right behind you. Learned that this is called 'New York-style' bench seating: there is a lot less sitting space, but more capacity for each car overall, with the majority of people standing. Definitely more useful for lines with more frequent stops contributing to shorter ride times.

I've taken it many times before it's conversion from the former Expo/Light Blue line to concerts at Expo/USC, trips to, West Adams area, Culver City, Downtown L.A. as well as Downtown Santa Monica and Little Tokyo to name a few. It's easy, reliable and smooth. Being a light rail line that runs pretty much above ground on the surface you get some great scenic views. There are less carts than lines like the B/Red Line or D/Purple than run below, but a bit more frequency. It can fill up quite fast especially during the week and on some weekends, but never fills over capacity or like you can't get on and off with ease. And if you don't start with a seat readily available you may be able to find one that opens up before your reach your destination. The Metro Gold E - has some of the newest stops/stations/freshly renovated via Grand Avenue Arts/Bunker Hill as well as Historic Broadway. There are some stations with parking available for commuters, but mostly on the westside and West L.A. area (Expo/Bundy, Expo/Sepulveda, Expo/Crenshaw, La Cienega/Jefferson, 17th/SMC), two stations offer parking in East L.A. also (Indiana and Maravilla). Like most metro trains its runs as early as 4:30 am but currently only until about midnight during the week, some extension on the weekends.

Willowbrook / Rosa Parks Station is nostalgic to me time infinity. This LA Metro station was the first I ever visited back in the early 90s, riding with my brother and our aunts or dad - learning more about public transportation and the south side of Los Angeles. Growing up in South Central LA from 1985 to 1997 the Green and Blue line were ones we knew. Mainly for short trips, we got to see the 105 be constructed and the Avalon Station (just before Willowbrook/Rosa Parks) follow a couple years after. Growing up within walking distance of Avalon and a one stop ride to Willowbrook/Rosa Parks anytime I pass this Metro Blue A Line station that connects to the Metro Green C line I flashback to those 90s vibes. The Kenneth Hahn Plaza very nearby was a plaza we frequented - the McDonald's, Denny's and everything that was once there. I have been a few times in the last few years for various reasons and explored the old neighborhoods. There is parking lot for commuters - over 200 spaces and unlike some station it's free - though super generified it's still South Central - security, police station and metro employees on duty and all in one place. And like the Metro slogan goes, "If you see something, say something." Elevators and escalators to connect you to the Green above along the 105 freeway. Ride green. Ride smart. Ride safe.

There are working escalators going up (haphazard in terms of if running or not), and there are large elevators for folks that need it..

Eventually riding with our aunts and dad on occasion to different places. Metro fare is currently $1.75 with transfers available in various directions and discounts available for students, children and seniors. In addition there is a max cap of no more than $5 per day and various monthly, weekly or even day passes and caps you can acquire or have access to. Metro makes improvement where it can and since the pandemic has been climbing over hurdles to improve cleaner, safer and more efficient rides. It's not perfect by any means as for certain stops it's required to tap to exit to reduce on riders who don't tap, but the thing is sometimes cards get dropped and misplaced, while digital tap cards have made life easier in terms of keeping up with them, sometimes the tap reader doesn't pick it up right away. Just the other week I gave using my digital card a little more love and it only worked instantly once! Other attempts took three or more tries. Tapping to exit at the end of a long day or commute feels criminal as you're just hoping to make it home at that point. During the day time at peaks hours you're more likely to see more metro staff, security and officers on duty, usually between 8am to 5pm, but strides have been made to extend presences, especially in light of an altercation taking part last week between two men that led to a near fatal stabbing 15 to 20 feet directly behind me. This is not a typical LA Metro ride or riding experience. Very surreal to hear two adult men argue to the point of lethal violence and have to evacuate to the next train cart for my safety, but also making sure all passengers on our side got through that door before we closed it tight and hold it close until we could get to the next available stop. I'm beyond glad nobody else was hurt, all passengers worked together, and the victim got medical care. The one who drew the weapon and escalated the altercation between the two men unfortunately got away, was hurt as well, maced and dripping small amounts of blood from the metro cart up the escalator and all the way out of the station. His face was covered in a hoodie and he was never tracked down or caught as of almost a full week ago. I've seen a lot via metro, but rarely does it escalate to this point. Typically you may experience some odd characters, the sock guy, people selling what they can to earn extra money (from snacks to jewelry), performers, an interesting rant or three, tap card inspections (which slow people down from where they need to go - like jobs or appointments), etc. Metro busses fluctuate with accuracy either arriving to early or very late, sometimes not at all for the less frequented routes, but sometimes there's zero issues at all, even friendly drivers who offer a free ride for the day or part of the day, smooth wi-fi (which is now also available on a lot of the rails), usb outlets for charging under seats on the nearer busses + all entrance taps to cut down on boarding. Cool things like Metro Rider Appreciation Day, Earth Day or Voting Day riders ride free - though they often forget to make this work at all stations, but do a pretty 8/10 job with the Metro busses. They pop up at conventions, festivals and community celebrations including Latin Heritage Month, Pride Month, LA Comic Con and numerous others, sharing information, free tap cards, swag and more. New rail lines are being extended including a station for LAX, additional rail line in the San Fernando Valley, line extensions throughout and more safety. I'm not afraid to ride metro, and don't think anyone should be - but we should all be mindful, aware and considerate. LA Metro can definitely do better, but as the riders of Metro Los Angeles, so can we.

Sorry but there are little to no inter transit bus connections to other agencies. This is a very fast bus because the frequency is very good. This bus can be very crammed at times but luckily because frequency is good there are other buses of the same route nearby. You don't have to work yourself up if one vehicle is crowded. If you are a tourist this is your bus to go to different points of interests all the way the way to Santa Monica beach. They no longer have the 920 because it is long gone. It is gone due to low ridership. I would ride this bus again is possible even with the cramming.

The Rapid 720 is the east-west artery that gets me from my residence near Beverly and Wilshire to most spots, especially Union Station downtown (via a connection at either the Wilshire/Western or Wilshire/Vermont Metro stations). There are lots of homeless and weirdos on this particular line, but you will get the hang of it once you ride it regularly. Until the Wilshire/Rodeo station opens in 2025, this is the best we've got. If anyone makes you uncomfortable, sit as close to the front of the bus and the driver as possible. The bus drivers are told to allow/ignore fare evaders, which I think is a foolish policy, but there's nothing I can do about that. The Rapid 920 was a super-limited service which they have since discontinued and are unlikely to resume given that they're building new stations as far west as the VA anyway. Download the Metro app if you haven't already. That allows you to know exactly when a bus is coming. Hey, it's not perfect, but it works.

I get tired of hearing that Metro is working to improve service for the Olympics. No! Do it now! For us Angelenos. They need to improve their service and make a smooth public transportation system here like in other big cities. It would help everyone and diminish driving and pollution. Overall, a necessary line that I use a few time a month!
