LA's public transit system (subway, light rail, express buses) has actually improved significantly in the past 10 years (since 2004 - not that long ago), and will be significantly improving in the next 10 years. for example, the exposition line is now halfway open and will fully connect downtown SM (the beach) to downtown LA in 2015. this is actually kind of a big deal. lots of people are looking forward to it, especially sports fans (all of LA's teams play downtown). and, if they manage to extend the purple line to the west (this is the 10 year horizon), the situation will be very different in LA. it will have basically 50% of a train system built. nowhere near complete, but totally useable especially with services like Uber and Lyft. http://media.metro.net/projects_studies/westside/images/project_map.pdf http://media.metro.net/projects_studies/westside/images/proj...
