LA has a lot of public transit, it's just really spread out and not very dense. Public transit tends to be hub-and-spoke, sort of, but the usual paths for commuting or shopping or socializing are way more distributed. (I lived in LA for ten years, on the West side, and went to downtown LA twice.) It's a geographic region that is heavily dependent on cars to get from, say, Sherman Oaks to Northridge; or Westwood to LAX. There are buses, but they run sporadically, aren't seen as very safe, and take twice as long to get there.
- iamacynic 9y agotrying to explain public transit in LA to people is always difficult. the long and short of it is, it takes too long to get anywhere you want to go, so people just drive instead. the exceptions are people who can't afford to drive, and people who just happen to live and work in convenient spots.
