> You can get pretty much anywhere there's a significant "last mile" problem for many of LA's single-family-dwelling neighborhoods. you get off the bus or train and then walk a long distance (or take Uber). in limited cases (e.g. the underground red line) you arrive sooner than you would on freeways plus surface streets. but in most cases, where there's a bus and a 1-2 transfers involved, it takes two or even three times as long to arrive. one of the puzzles about LA's transportation planning is: they just spent about $1.6 billion to widen the 405's Sepulveda pass segment, which has at best modestly reduced commute times for car drivers, but historically, there's been little or no improvement to the corresponding bus service. the number of bus lines that run through that pass from the SF Valley to LA's west side is just way too low. and it's like: why? shouldn't bus line capacity have been the FIRST thing they improved?
