I live in LA, and I don't drive. I use public transit and Uber. The biggest problems I have with LA's public transit have nothing to do with a lack of lines.

LA's public transit is unreliable -- sometimes the scheduled bus just doesn't show up and you have to wait ~45 mins for the next one. Hope you didn't have a meeting scheduled! London by comparison has GPS on all their buses, so you know precisely how far away they are and how long they'll take to reach you. But more importantly, LA's public transit is not terribly safe/comfortable. I'll never take the train after dark again after a homeless person had a psychotic break and threatened (in a very serious way) to kill me. Gang members are a common sight. They need security on the trains themselves.
