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! The drivers are nice but make sure you get there a little before the departure time because they will leave without you!

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.

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.

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.

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!

(I can't tell you how many times I've walked all the way to Beverly and Wilshire and waited forever while watching two 20s breeze past, then three buses arrive at once, all of them packed, even at 9pm!) But the drivers on the 20 are weird. One guy bugged me to take him on as my personal trainer, and they make it impossible to transfer. There's no rhyme or reason to it, and one woman got downright nasty about making me pay the full fare even with a transfer. I haven't made the leap to invest in the pass yet. Every once in a while, the 20 will try to lure me back, but it's like that ex you can never trust.

Since I wanted to go to downtown Los Angeles after picking up my brother, decided to use this stop.

Forget all the stereotypes and awful things you've heard about California public transit. You hear of how little there is and how nasty they are. You hear that while people say California is a car culture state. While both those things are true the new LAX Metro Transit Center is a marvelous hub of public transportation. Built in mind to service the thousands of people who'll come in for the summer Olympics in 2028 this transport hub will remain long after the tourists leave and it'll become a central and integral part of public transport for Los Angelenos. Everything is shiny and clean. Large swathes of steel and glass give everything an open air feel. The security patrolling every 50 feet or so means the place feels secure and seen. The large shuttle docks makes for easy understanding of where the buses are going. And once the people mover or sky tram or whatever LAX will call it connects to this transit center going into LAX will become so convenient. No more fighting traffic to get in. Simply take a monorail over to each terminal. I've already used it several times to go to LAX without the sky tram and it was convenient. It'll only get better once that's implemented. Most Americans who've travelled abroad romanticize train stations and public transit, and rightfully so. When we lack something that feels so integral to public spaces it's hard not to yearn for it. But with LAX Metro Transit Center and the future lines connecting through it we can start romanizing our own lives here in California.
