101 would have still been there, as he 405 and most of others. Check out this map of the old system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Electric#/media/File:

With enough patience, one could have travelled from Woodland Hills to Redlands or Corona. Unfortunately, I do not know the time it would have taken, but the current bus system makes it nearly impossible. If the freeway system was built in the same way that I see BART being incorporated into say the 580 in the Bay Area (right down the middle of the highway), it would have been a great setup. Want to drive the car? No problem! Want to avoid driving a car? We have you covered as well! The routes 101, 405, 5, 10, 110, etc. cover are great. There are many intersections allowing for "hubs" and so on. Unfortunately, only choices are either cars or buses that have little advantage because they sit in traffic all the same. Busways may be a middle ground, but I have not seen them work out very well in San Fernando Valley. I'm guessing because there is still insufficient density and poor bus coverage of perpendicular routes to the busway itself. Just a guess though...
