Los Angeles used to have a good streetcar system, a century ago.
What killed the streetcars (car-company conspiracy, or simple economics) is disputed, but makes for good reading.

Going out of a subway stop to find the connected bus stop is a challenge due to lack of way finding, even on very touristy routes (the bus to go up to Griffith's Observatory). The only people who think that's okay are those who haven't experienced what a proper bus system looks like.
