Your "city of cities" comment is right on, but I'd argue about the bus lines being perfectly usable. I tried to go from Pasadena to the Getty Museum once. It took 3 hours due to the wheel-spoke setup of the bus lines -- I had to go downtown first and then back out. Six hours on the bus for 1.5 hours at the museum.

- jessaustin 11y agoThis must have been some time ago? Not only does the Gold Line have stops all through Pasadena, but within months it will go all the way to Azusa.
- fit2rule 11y agoYeah, I left LA in 2002 and moved to Germany. I have a faint recollection that they were working on the line to Pasadena then, I guess its finished and long since operational. The few times I've been back though, it just hasn't been as cool to take the subway .. German trains really spoiled me. In fact, only the Japanese have been able to match the experience so far.. Anyway, glad to hear Pasadena got its rail. I'll take it next time I'm out there.
