I think LA's is only really usable to get to/from DTLA. The nice part is DTLA is becoming more eventful, so you actually want to go there sometimes for non-work reasons.
Getting anywhere else is a bit of a crapshoot for the last-mile. I don't think LA's train system is ready for primetime until it can reasonably get into LAX; preferably with a more direct route from the westside that doesn't detour through DTLA.
- jpatokal 8y agoThe Crenshaw/LAX line that does just that is scheduled to open in 2020: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crenshaw/LAX_Line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crenshaw/LAX_Line ...although its utility will be limited until they connect it to the Red/Purple lines, and that's still on the drawing board.
- kenhwang 8y agoThen there's the people mover for inner-LAX travel between the train station and the terminals scheduled for 2023. But once that and the connection to red/purple is done, I'd say LA's public transit would be in a reasonably usable state.
