nice; now do entire los angeles metro area buses.

Next, I dare you to ride atleast 1 route from all 20 NYCTA bus depots+ all 8 MTA bus Company depots+ 1 from NICE bus (formerly MTA Long Island bus).

Honestly have you and your girlfriend ever thought about applying to the Amazing Race? Id watch the hell out of that shit lol

The one traveler looks like a young Richard Dreyfus

I've taken many Amtrak trains on the north east corridor. I also took njt to the New Brunswick station for an internship one summer. I had no idea Amtrak stopped at New Brunswick 😂

I used to rely on Torrance Transit in 2021-2022 and mannn the service was horrible! The 9 had a 1.5 hour regular schedule gap for such a useful route getting to Lomita!!! The city council also kept trying to kneecap the Metro K/C Line expansion. They were very much encouraged into building their new transit center by metro lmao. The K is supposed to expand to there…. around 2032

This was cool to watch! I'm thinking of possibly visiting Detroit sometime in the next year, and if I do I'll be sure to check out both of these rail systems. Everyone gives the People Mover shit but some rail is better than no rail, and honestly I'm more skeptical of the Q Line as I have a low opinion of streetcars in general. I guess I'll find out for myself when I go.

Thanks for taking us along with you! This was cool to watch. I haven't been to Miami but I would love to visit someday, and I'll be sure to try out the MetroMover while I'm there.

It is crazy

The frustrating thing is that 1) LA Metro cedes some areas to local transit systems and 2) local transit systems run infrequently. I live in Hollywood without a car. I'd like to get to Burbank every so often. You'd think there'd be a link between those 2 areas. But in the past, it's taken me 2 hours each way (via Red Line, and an LA Metro bus that runs almost hourly). I haven't tried to get BurbankBus. I'd also like to go to Manhattan Beach, but that area is only served by Beach City Transit, which runs every 45 minutes. So a roundtrip from Hollywood to Manhattan Beach can take like 5 hours.

shoutout from chatsworth i live on that street with that holiday inn express (with the bar at street level) rent a car next time lol!

The California chaos rune

This should be required viewing for elected officials. How can people not be radicalized by watching this?

I was going to be more shocked at how terribly balkanized this all is, but then I remembered this is the area whose bureaucracies kludged out “la sombrita.”

That in Germantown

I love the kennywood feature

After watching Nick Andert (nandert on here) and seeing his long but well-made videos on the LA area where he lives, I see that local government is rife in Southern California, even more than in New Jersey or New England where townships are usually more powerful than counties. It's why there are 45 different systems, and realistically there should be maybe 6 or 7 (three of those being LA County, LA City, and Orange County). I am thankful (!) that my area only has... one regional-ish system (Metrobus), my local county system (Ride-On), one in the county next door (The Bus, barely), and five across the river (Fairfax Connector, Prince William OMNI, Loudoun Transit, Alexandria DASH, Arlington ART). But the quality of a few of those (The Bus, OMNI, Loudoun) is not as extensive as the others.

Now that's dedication!

Guy who just spent $3 for a 2000 mile bus ride wants government to subsidize bus rides… Story at 11.

Ok so don't qoute me persislly. But lordsburg is probably one of the safest towns out here. 75% is government from town cops, state patrol, border patrol, way stations, teachers, it use to be booming but in the 90s they closed the smelter south of lordsburg. The other 25% lives off the government. Do no speed through on the highway you will get pulled over. Unfortunately when the town became smaller everyone who knows how to run a business left, and left it to no so smart people, the town water you don't want to drink cause about 20 years ago the water testing person left and never was replaced. That said this vally sets on alot of water. It would be a great place for a new city to be developed. The locals don't want people knowing about the good they talk it down and slowly kill there down while trying to keep people out. But you have hunting everywhere nation forest everywhere and everything is 2 hours away to mayjor cities. The town has a hard time running business because the people who don't work for the government don't want to work. However I welcome all to come and start business and redevelop this place. There was a reason why this place was created back in the day.

Right from the beginning when you were stuck waiting with two halves of a bagel and nothing else that should have been an omen of what's to come. Maybe in the future you can try again to catch the remaining 5, er, 6, er (who knows if there'll be more in the future). Great job making it through all that. Also, DJ Petesake did those mad dashes with you while carrying that bike? Does he haul fridges for his regular job or something?

I wonder if the plethora of systems has to do with how many separate municipalities govern the area colloquially known as Los Angeles. Saw a Geography Now vid on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/pofQgYFroMqXbJo&pp=ygUTbG9zIGFuZ2VsZXMgYm9yZGVycw%3D%3D

Kudos for even thinking to attempt this!

I’m so sorry Sydney and Melbourne buses for ever doubting you.

I'm sorry to let you know, but I live in Lawndale, and the Lawndale Beat has been around for over 30 years.

I love these dorks ❤

Based on the title and the thumbnail alone I predict this is going to be one of your best performing videos ever made

You should do the Orange County transit and the Riverside Transit and the San Diego one.

Watching this video from my crescent roomette. Woke up when we stopped in Gastonia and guessed it was the least used station in NC. Ok time to get back to bed.

If you lived here you'd be out of content.

My great grandfather lived in Benson. Incredibly remarkable plac

I'm literally floored that there are systems in a major city that don't have trackers. I live in the ruralist county in Massachusetts and OUR countywide transit system (BRTA) has them. Never imagined we'd be ahead of the game!

Just finished watching your epic journey. I'd watch your tier list, of which systems you think should be absorbed and which are worthy of remaining independent.

Brandon here. This is exactly why I decided to explore and drive on the east coast for a little while! 😂

You mean to tell me you two guys spent three days on a nasty ass train with no showers pretty much in the same clothes you got on in and you had to eat café style train food believe me I will never take an Amtrak train. I can’t believe you went three days without a shower.

From Wachussetss to Cerritos, that's a lot of Miles, in Transit.

This is INSANE! Congrats on your suffering! I should do this with Buenos Aires, but imagine this but no trackers, no schedules, but atleast i know the busses exist...

I live in Arcadia CA and trust me the transit system in LA is so bad

so insane to see you in ALHAMBRA of all places. hope you enjoyed what little urbanism we have on main street!

As someone who lives in El Monte, I've never once thought about why El Monte transit isn't connected to the El Monte Trolley system lol good point though. Also to get out from where you were at you have to go down the stairs/escalator and back up the stairs/escalator directly across yeah it's not obvious from the outside but it is what it is.

There's Beach Cities Transit, but it's technically no in LA county

FYI, the Big Blue Bus is actually what Jim Morrison was referring to in "The End". "The blue bus is calling us..."

As a lifetime LA resident, it’s just easier and less stressful to drive lol

I have to wonder those baby transit system is just a money laundering schemes by city government

On one hand its nice that all these systems exist, on the other hand, why do some of these systems exist?

I don’t know how you did it, but you did it. Mostly. I don’t think I would ever do this experimental even if I try to. Wish we can invest in more on our bus system, including what someone said: where we can have a one-transit oriented bus system for the LA County. Also, yes, we have the Lawndale Beat, and I have seen their buses whenever I operate the 40. One more thing: I, too, am a public transit activist _and_ a Ⓜ️ 🚊 operator, operate the 🅰️ Line. I would’ve helped you out…Like the PVPTA, for instance.

I wish you got more footage of the LA dot commuter express. I love commuter busses

Gosh every driver was so nice, despite being blunt

most of your challenges look like fun this nah forget all this
