Have you flown from the Bay area to LA area. It's so much easier than driving. There's numerous airports on each end. Flights on Southwest are cheap or you can fly semi private on boutique air for about double but still not very expensive compared to these buses. Finally traffic can be terrible even in the middle of nowhere on i5. The train is too slow or doesn't go where you need to be so isn't useful.
