    The Metro Green Line is actually decent by comparison to the next nearest one, the Blue Line. So, automatically, when I think of the Green Line, I find myself shortly saying, "at least it isn't the Blue Line". It's sad, but true. Although the Green Line has only two cars per train, it's usually enough to accommodate all the riders who use it on the weekends and work days. The cars are decent, run fast and generally on time, however, I usually get annoyed at the amount of scratched graffiti that appears inside some of the cars. It's not as bad as other trains I've been on in this country (ahem, Philadelphia), but still annoying to observe and lowers the quality of the riding experience overall. There's a popular theory called the "Broken Windows" theory that I think everyone in urban planning and public transit should be familiar with and try to correct quickly on the trains. The parking lot at the Norwalk Station, where I typically park and ride whenever I decide to use the train, can be hellishly packed. Be prepared to walk a great distance in the unadulterated sun if you find yourself deciding to get onto the Metro system anytime after noon. Bring a parasol and/or a segway. Or better yet, get dropped off/picked up there. My critique is that there is no visible security in the parking lot. There needs to be more "eyes in the sky" or a toll/security gate here. The ticketing system along the Green Line is still (as of 11/9/12) unenforced. I personally don't like it and I wish that the turnstiles would lock unless you have a valid TAP Card. Heck, I wish more train platforms simply had turnstiles and an attendant and/or security in order to crack down on free riding. Los Angeles County is missing out on operating funds/revenue by ignoring this important upgrade. Metro forcing everyone to purchase a TAP Card is step one towards the right direction. The next step is making sure people actually tap into the system. I'm sure that the cost of having an attendant and security would be mainly offset by the revenues that are captured from making free riders actually pay for their fare. The stop at Willowbrook (formerly Wilmington/Imperial) is a rough one. It's the connector to the Blue Line, and unfortunately, it carries many "interesting" individuals as well. I would be able to more easily count how many times I DON'T see some questionable activity, deranged individuals harassing others, or inappropriate acts happening on that line. That's for another review though. Finally, I can't write this review and ignore the most glaring shortcoming here. There is no direct stop to LAX airport! For first timers or people from out of town, you have to exit at the Aviation/LAX stop and take Shuttle G in the parking lot in order to arrive at the airport. There were all sorts of local opposition from locals who didn't want the train to come through, but as a result, created a sort of incomplete (or half-assed) Green Line. I hope the future Metro plans call for an extension of the line into LAX directly...perhaps ending at the upcoming Passenger Processing Center at the airport. (Crosses fingers). I know LA County Supervisor Don Knabe and others have championed a direct connection to LAX, and since Measure J recently failed by a narrow margin (technically if it was any other proposition, it would have passed with the 64.75% it received, but a 66% "Yes" majority is required for new taxes), a direct connection that could have been made by 2020 will need to be reevaluated or pursued through the legislatures or another referendum. The Metro board and LA County will need to decide now how to improve and reallocate resources they currently have from Measure R to first clean up what they have now and make the Green Line and other lines truly world class. Once people are convinced and see that we have a great thing going with the transit system today, it would make future funding and expansion a lot easier.

    Bout to catch the 125!

    I live between the border of Hoxie & Lakewood station. However, Norwalk station has more connections. From here you can go to a variety of places such as Downtown LA, El Monte, Anaheim, Compton, Watts, etc! There's also always sheriffs here, so make sure you have a valid TAP card, or you'll be charged with a $75 fine ($5 is easier than $75!). There's also a snack stand here if you get hungry & sometimes you see some interesting people. The parking lot is horrendous--park 1 mile away at Lakewood! Bring some headphones and enjoy the ride!

    This is the first stop on the Green/C line of the Metro. They have a large parking lot of 1800…read morespots. I don't take the Metro on the regular, so I can't comment on what it's like to park here on a weekday. It appears that they put in a $3/day fee on weekdays, to help with freeing up more spots for daily commuters. Parking here is free on holidays and weekends. I chose to park here when taking the C line to go to Sofi Stadium. It costs $1.50 to take the C line from Norwalk to LAX/Metro Station. There's a complimentary shuttle at that stop to go to SoFi. It's a great reason to come by. I look forward to when the LAX People Mover opens in 2026. I hope that will be a game changer in the LAX experience! For those headed to LAX, they have shuttles to and from LAX going around the clock. I don't know that I'd want to take the metro to LAX with my large luggage; however, I think it's absolutely the cheapest way to access LAX and SoFi Stadium!

With just a little effort I found out that I could ride the metro C line and get to El Segundo and not have to deal with rush hour traffic on the ride home. The Chargers new practice facility The Bolt was my destination and the train station was within walking distance. The parking lot in Norwalk had plenty of parking spaces and costs $3 for the day. The Norwalk station is at the beginning of the metro line and so it was very easy to find an open seat. This was my first time riding on it and it was pretty nice. Quicker than the flow of the 105 in a lot of places. There were many stops on the way to El Segundo and you don't wait very long before you are on the way again. On open stretches of the freeway we actually moved faster than the cars! so this train is fast. Tip - make sure you pay for your parking pass. Security guards check your car's license plate and will ticket you. Also the lot is patrolled by the police as well as the Security Patrol. I was pleasantly surprised at how well run the Norwalk Transit Authority provided for a safe and effective way for the public to use the buses and metro rail.

    Unfortunately, the US doesn't have as good public transportation compared to other parts of the…read moreworld such as Japan or Korea. Public transportation could alleviate some of the 105/605 traffic and help the overall environment, but we're left with what we have. The public transportation in California is dysfunctional. This station (and most others in the GreenLine) is dirty and rarely cleaned. Most of the trash generated is just from homeless or inconsiderate people, so it is constantly getting trashed. (I feel bad for the custodians.) To deter homeless people from camping here, there are no bathrooms, chairs are uncomfortable to sit on, trashcans are limited, and it is open to the harsh environment. As of the time of this writing, the price to enter is $1.75 one way. If you get on the wrong train/direction, you can always just transfer for free if you tap. But also, no one pays because there is hardly any enforcement, and some of the entrance scanners are broken. Most commuters are regular people just trying to get to work, but you will always have that one mentally ill, inconsiderate, or homeless person who causes a nuisance during your ride every once in a while. Expect to encounter one of them, so you don't get completely shocked when it happens. This station takes you to LAX if that is your main destination. I only take the train because my work pays for it, so it is free for me. I just wish it were cleaner and comfortable to ride public transportation here in the US.

    So this is pretty much standard for the transportation system through LA in other words it's really…read morebad as it takes forever to get anywhere with the multiple routes that really don't intersect very well making it a total mission to get where you have to go no matter what time of day it is! Getting from place to place will cost you about $1.75 each way and your required to have one of their tap cards on you if your choosing to ride otherwise you might be subject to a fine from what I hear is pretty hefty so just get it and pay it! If your looking to go somewhere out of LA your going to have to take the train to the end then a very long bus ride to get to where else you gotta go it's quite the effort logistically trust me I tried it so with that said your better off getting a ride! On the plus side I did find that the majority of the trains were like almost new so that was definitely something nice about it but that's really it. Overall this is public transportation in LA and it's not that great hence why everyone drives but if you can get away from having to drive and you have time to kill then by all means take the train if not stick to driving your better off that way!
