My route (704 along santa monica blvd on the west side) has a mix of shaded or uncovered stops. That bus is pretty reliably tracked by google maps and other transit apps. I get delayed less than once a month. They're actually about to merge the express and local lines into more frequent, slightly farther spaced routes, so it's supposed to change to every 10 minutes or so. My timing is usually flexible, so I can absorb one delay a month, but when I'm in a hurry (like today), I'll just string together two buses (1 to 4) if the 704 doesn't show. I've taken ubers in a pinch before, but way less than once a month.
