Транспорт

L.A. is all sprawl - if you can, get a car!

Public transport is readily available via Metro and busses, but schedules can be inconsistent and transit long. To make the most of your trip and ensure you're getting from place to place as quickly as possible, rent a car (we have free street parking!) or opt for an Uber for closer commutes.
