RE: TaxiCard for RPV seniors…read more I don't think the staff at PVPTA are genuinely willing to help, as their only advice was to be patient and keep calling if the TaxiCard company doesn't answer your booking call. Last Thursday was my first time using the service, and I attempted to book a ride while standing outside on the street because the reception inside the medical building was poor (the call got disconnected twice). I spent over 20 minutes waiting for someone to answer my call, but in the end, nobody picked up. I contacted PVPTA to share this bad experience, hoping they would address it and find ways to improve the service for other very elderly seniors who might face similar situations in the future. Unfortunately, I was disappointed when the PVPTA staff simply told me to "be patient" and keep trying. Why can't the staff contact TaxiCard directly to investigate whether they are treating TaxiCard users as "second-class" citizens because of the discounted rates? Interestingly, when I called the same taxi company for a regular ride during rush hour, they responded promptly!

The whole process was very easy--navigation to the boat was straightforward, and since we paid for our tickets online, we just scanned our QR codes and hopped on. Super smooth and stress-free. The boats themselves are a bit older and show some wear, which makes sense given how many passengers they transport daily, but they're functional and comfortable enough. There are bathrooms onboard and a snack bar with decent prices. Just a heads-up: there is absolutely no smoking of any kind allowed, including vapes. One of the highlights was the top observation deck--it's really cool and worth checking out during the ride. One thing to be aware of is parking. Parking at the terminal is very expensive at $22 per day, so be prepared to spend a good amount on parking. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend Catalina Express.

This station and stop is well kept up, clean platforms, easy access, signage and kiosk... Exiting off the platform onto the street as well as returning was a bit different from some prior stops or even compared to the Expo line as the jumbo crossing signs are in the path of the sidewalk, which is fine and safe in a lot of ways, but I kept thinking it these started coming down mid cross my tall 6'1 self is like at sign level lol, but you do have a little warning when this happens. Lots of signage to help you navigate and still visible during night. The parking lot is nice (though limited) with connecting services directly in front of it, which you don't see at every Metro Station. I did notice it was barely in use, possibly due to the more recent restrictions and enforcements over the last three years. You can use your metro tap card (physical or digital) to connect with Long Beach Metro buses (reduced rate).

I got in at the LAX taxi stand at almost 1 am after a long flight. There was a long line of people waiting for a cab, so I allowed the driver to rush me into the car. He NEVER turned on the meter and I never saw any price info. He just put my address into his phone, then started driving. I know there was a language barrier, so I didn't think anything of it. But on my way home, I started getting scared and wondering where he was taking me. It turns out he still got me home, but he took the LONGEST possible route. I live in an area near several freeways, and he took 5 different freeways when I could have gotten home using 3. He added over 7 miles & 5 minutes to the route. There was no reason for this, because there were no road closures and no traffic at that hour. Sneakily, he also dropped me off across the street and one house over, so that his car wasn't captured on my doorbell camera. He had me pay by tapping my card on his cell phone, not on the machine that's on the headrest of the car. Only after talking with my husband did I realize that NONE of this is normal or standard practice. I am so angry, and I feel like I was assaulted, even though I know I was only taken advantage of financially - luckily, I was not physically harmed. But still!!! And since I was so tired from my trip and new to taxis, I didn't get his name or taxi number. I called the customer service line (impossible to get hold of them too!), and the lady couldn't help me much since I didn't have any identifying information. She couldn't even find the credit card transaction. Ugh! Avoid this company! And take care of yourself if you ever ride a taxi! Take pictures of the car before you get in - capture the license plate and taxi number. And make sure you discuss pricing and that they turn on the meter in a way that's visible to you BEFORE they even begin driving. Also, never pay on the driver's phone - always use the machine on the headrest. I send curses onto that driver and I hope he doesn't get the chance to take advantage of other passengers the way he did with me!

Stopping at various stops in the Downtown Long Beach area, the Passport is a free shuttle line that…read moreruns Friday to Sunday, taking residents and visitors alike around the area. It was closed during all of Covid, with this being my first time taking it again (since I usually walk in the area). The route uses normal LBC transit buses, so folks with disabilities can be accommodated (the Fare meter exists, but the bus driver notifies entrants to not use it). You can also enter from the back entrance door. It runs in a loop, with the northernmost stop being 10th Street and Pine Ave, with the southernmost stop being the Queen Mary/Carnival Cruise Port. Google maps IS accurate for this shuttle (which isn't always the case for other cities or airports), showing correct stops and times. The route takes about 25 minutes from one end to the other, so a round trip is about an hour. Two physical buses service this route at a time, resulting in each stop being visited every 30 minutes. One thing to note is that the bus drivers will use the two endpoints to reset their times (i.e. they idle wait there if they are early, to maintain the 30 minute intervals). But unlike other bus routes, they will not force you off the bus if at the terminus, and will keep the doors open to allow early passengers to board the bus and wait. Note that some stops have both buses going north and going south stopping, so important to check the bus's display to see which direction it is going. It's interesting in that it is the only public transit to the little peninsula (location of the cruise port and Queen Mary) that juts out at the delta of the Los Angeles River. Since it runs only on the weekend, it's not very useful for folks trying to get to work. It is however popular with cruisers who are either trying to get to or away from the Carnival Cruise Terminal. It does drop you off at the paid parking lot, with attendants letting the bus through the gates. One observation: it is clear that Google maps is scraping info from the LB transit web site to create the schedule and stops, for best accuracy. Unfortunately, the name of one of the stops on both is 'Shroeline & Village'...obviously a misspelling. I don't blame the initial person who misspelled this, but more all the people (and software) that must have ignored it/let it pass to make it this far. Submitted a correction to Google...curious to see how far it will go.

I ask him why it's not opening 'cause I didn't know. Instead of telling me this wasn't stop or to sit down, he just stares at me for about a whole 30 seconds then takes off before I'm even seated, so I almost trip over. The transport would be fine if people like this weren't driving it.

Rob and his entire team of drivers are accommodating, professional, personal, and incredibly communicative. They checked every box and honestly checked boxes I didn't even know needed to be checked. Let's talk about last minute service. When I say last minute, I mean within 20 minutes for an LAX pickup. No hesitation. No attitude. Just immediate action and professionalism. They transported five adults and ten pieces of luggage to the cruise port with ease. Everything was seamless. The text communication was on point the entire time. The vehicles were clean, well maintained, and fully serviced. You can tell they take pride in their fleet. Even the electronics inside were impressive and thoughtfully set up. My friends and I felt well cared for from start to finish. If you are in the LA area and need reliable airport or cruise transportation, I highly recommend Rob, Steve, and the entire Higher Level Transportation team. This is how professional travel service should be done!

But I truly don't want this to happen to any other females. Although I didn't directly book from His website I was only trying to get to work, and this happens to me. Him saying it's a false accusation is only so he can protect himself and his business. I'm sure I'm not the first or last this has and can happen to.
