    If you live near one of the rapid transit lines, it’s not bad. The problem is that there are way too few lines. But I lived in walking distance to the Red Line and it was pretty useful. Now that there’s a line directly to the beach, I probably would go to the beach a lot more too, but they built that after I moved away.

      Have you tried taking it anywhere that requires a transfer? Last time I saw, all transfers required going to Union Station. Doesn’t matter if that is the opposite direction of where you want to go. Union Station is (or was) the only option if you were not traveling in a straight line.

      All of my knowledge on Los Angeles public transit is about 15 years old. I really do hope that they have improved since then.

      I am also just talking about just the Metro rail system. I never attempted any other public transit options in LA.
