I spent 2 days driving to and from LA, mostly sitting in traffic. Then I discovered the Metro Card! Bought a 1 day pass for $5 and rode all day. Went to several neighborhoods, following the posted map. The areas are clean and I felt safe. The card can be used on the Metro bus's also, but they are crowded... More

Cheap and easy way to get around - doesnt go to all places in LA (apparently due to Earthquake issues) but handy for the ones it does go to. Dont be tempted to not buy tickets (my family kept daring me to live dangerously) - even though you seem to be able to get on and off without showing tickets... More

they are clean and very artsy. Easy to use. recommend you buy the all day ticket, it will save you money. In Hollywood you can get off at one stop walk down sunset seeing all the sights and board at the next stop. Parking at universal and spend the day sightseeing by subway. More

Living near a Red Line stop, I ride the Metro anytime I need to go, well, anywhere it stops. The trains are reliable, cleaner than most rail systems, far less stressful than driving and cheaper than parking. I even take the train to Long Beach when I'm going over to Catalina or visiting the Queen Mary. The only drawback is... More

The metro rail and bus in LA is brilliant. Clean, tidy and safe no matter what time of day you are travelling. I had no bother getting around and you really do not need a car, unless you are travelling futher afield. The $6 day ticket is great for travelling about and if you are in Santa Monica, can be...
