Do you have a suggestion where to stay if I have to rely on public transportation

@incognitoyo8606 9 ай бұрын

Hollywood or West Hollywood are most central with the best public transportation options. I live here.

@@incognitoyo8606 Hi, I have 12 hours daytime between flights in LAX. And decided to go in the city, using Metro as a transport. Wanted to start with Hollywood, see downtown when it is all started and go to Santa Monica. Maybe walk to Venice (or maybe a better option to put Koreatown instead of Venice) and then back to SM and to the airport by Metro. Is it doable and good plan? Would really appreciate if you could help to make a plan better. BTW, it is going to be my first visit to LA. and I am ready to walk. Thank you!

@@ellenvlady8323 Hi! I would instead suggest this schedule to maximize your 12 hours here in LA: 1- DTLA: The FlyAway bus from LAX to Union Station downtown is an airport shuttle that costs $9.75 and goes directly there, so it is very quick (by LA standards.) From Union Station you can easily walk 4 minutes to get to the El Pueblo de Los Angeles historical monument, which is the birthplace of LA. You can then take a 7 minute walk to City Hall, which is of course another historical landmark, and was the tallest building in the city for decades. If you have the time you can also walk or take the Metro subway train over to the U.S. Bank Tower, there is an observation deck amongst other things. Lastly, a mile south from there is LA Live, which has tons of food options and shopping, etc. 2- Hollywood: you can take the metro easily from DTLA to Hollywood on the red line, and explore the Hollywood Walk of Fame and see the heart of Hollywood on Hollywood Blvd & Vine Street, where you can get a great view of the famous Capitol Records Building. One stop further on Hollywood & Highland is the legendary Chinese Theatre and its star hand and footprints, and next to it the Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars are held. The Dolby is in a large complex with tons of food and shopping as well. If you have the time you could Uber or take a sightseeing bus up to the Mulholland Drive overlook and get great glimpses of LA. You could also bus to the Griffith Observatory, but coming from the eastern side of Hollywood via the DASH bus. 3- West Hollywood & Beverly Hills: You can take the city bus on Sunset Blvd directly to the Sunset Strip, which starts at Laurel Canyon Blvd and ends on Doheny, the border of Beverly Hills. The Sunset Strip is very walkable, and the Chateau Marmont is one of the first buildings coming from Hollywood. If you care to see Beverly Hills I believe there is another bus that goes south on Doheny, the famous Beverly Hills sign as well as Rodeo Drive are in walking distance to the intersection of Santa Monica Blvd & Doheny. There are many bars and shops in that area as well. If you care to explore more in this general area, the Beverly Center, the Grove, and Melrose Avenue are all accessible with public transit, starting on LaCienega Blvd, which also intersects the top of the Sunset Strip. 4- Santa Monica & Venice: Lastly, and this would either be a long bus ride or an Uber, but you could travel from Central LA to the beach by taking the bus on Sunset Blvd straight to the ocean, and then transfer to a bus going south- the Santa Monica Pier and promenade are 3 miles away. Venice is directly below, and the boardwalk and if you have time Venice Canals are in walking distance from there. I hope these suggestions will help you plan! I visited LA for many years before moving here and buying a car, so I found my way around on the city bus and Metro. If planned in this order- or even reverse order- I believe you can see all of this within 12 hours. Either way it’s the best way to get from LAX to DTLA or from DTLA to LAX. Enjoy!

I agree with all the places listed, crime and homelessness are huge in LA. I’d also add LA METRO is unsafe. If you need to take public transportation don’t ride alone, ride only in the daytime and leave valuables at home or in your hotel. Metro trains are by far the worst! LAPD will not respond to minor property crimes and if you want to file a minor report, expect a delay of HOURS!

The most puzzling thing about Los Angeles is its bad public transport when compared to San Francisco and the SF Bay Area. Sure, Los Angeles is catching up with LAX airport about to have a rail link opening soon, and lots of money spent on new lines and light rail etc. But SF has had its excellent BART rail system since 1972 and SFO airport has had a rail link since 2003! The BART station is literally a 2 minute walk to the International check in area. And even in 2024 there is no convenient public transport from LAX airport to the Disneyland area.

For the most part, it might be true. But considering the fact that the narrator is mispronouncing names of different areas, gives me an idea that she has never lived in LA. And the whole video is just bunch of cliche “facts” that you can find anywhere. Be afraid of this and that. FYI it is not good to come to LA at all, at all costs. Stay cozy and safe wherever you are…pls.
