LA holds no lessons, since it has some of the most dysfunctional public transit of any major city. Want to go from Venice to West LA? The blue buses run fairly frequently, although you'll never be able to predict their schedule, since they have to fight LA traffic. Want to go from Venice to downtown, Hollywood, or the SFV? Sorry, no single bus line serves all those areas, so you need to ride one line as far as you can, then walk a bit to pick up another. Sadly, I agree that the future does look like sitting still in a sea of on-demand four-wheeled robots on the 405.
