Last time I arrived in LAX I remember wanting to take public transport or walk down town. I actually tried to walk from LAX to find some public transport . You’re not actually “allowed”. There is like no path to follow. I ended up in a cab after waiting like an hour for a bus which was full when it arrived.
- kurthr 3y agoPerhaps you were on the wrong (upper) level? There are 24hr airport terminal shuttle busses that loop LAX and multiple ways to take public transport to DTLA (eg FlyAway busses at terminals 4-7, which might have been full?). You can also take a 10min Lyft to the Mariposa MetroC and take trains all the way to downtown. I've never heard of it being full. Generally, Google Maps works in LA even if the distances are long and infrastructure lacking. The same cannot be said for the Shanghai Pudong Airport (PDX) and getting PuXi (anywhere in the main city west of the HangPu river). I mean, I like the maglev, but it's really the only "public transport" and since it was never completed, it doesn't go anywhere convenient. Everyone takes taxis everywhere.
- bamboozled 3y agoThe FlyAway bus terminal had a line like a like a mile long, and I waited there for about 45 minutes before anything showed up. In the end I just got a Lyft down to Santa Monica for some lunch between flights (I had a 6 hour lay over). I was hoping to get on a fast train or something.
