Had occasion to use LA's Red and Blue lines this week. Efficient, affordable service. Went Union Station -> Long Beach mid day.

I liked how efficiently connections were made. From Union Station to LB, no more than 10 min wait. pinto Sep 2013 #3

I might have just missed you. Was on the metro (RED) first time ever. Drove to Long Beach ( next night) to eat in Cambodian restaurant.

Yeah... the metro seems pretty good. ( Tap,tap.)

And the LB bus line (I rode it to the Catalina ferry from 1st Street) had a 75 cent transfer for the Metro return to Union Station.
