The Wardlow stop is never packed and early enough on the train line that you can ALWAYS find a seat. I have the sure fire way... Here it is: If you are heading north into downtown during rush hour note that every other train starts at the Willow Station one stop earlier down the line. This means that every other train is packed and the next is relatively empty, having just started its route. So, if you have an extra 5 minutes and a packed train happens to pull in, just wait for the next one. And, if you are picky about your seat, I also have a solution... Simply take the south train going to Willow, one stop the opposite direction, because it quickly turns around and heads towards LA!!!

Artesia Station for the Metro A (Blue) Line is surprisingly a big one, a huge hub for local…read moreconnecting city busses and services with a large parking lot for commuters. It resides on the outskirts of the city of Compton, Los Angeles, bordering on the northside of Long Beach. It definitely needs some clean up in places and better functionality for safety especially exiting and boarding the platform for the light rail metro. I did notice that there wasn't as much light as the sun set in the parking lot area which is also part of their bus bay depot for lots of connections including one I took more inland down Artesia Blvd. Not a ton of signs and postings for route like you'd hope they'd have to make navigating easy, except for a small few on the platform. The Compton Station is only one away and it's super decked out compared to Artesia. Their Metro tap platforms and metro kiosk don't exist at this station, which I've never seen before. I don't know if they did at one point, but it does mean you can board here without a cost, but should still have a validated physical or digital card (via the Tap app) on your person in case of inspection - you can purchase and reload cards in the app or at local convenience places such as 7-Eleven and CVS to name a few. Some connecting services run more frequently than others so I'd recommend mapping your trip out in advance or having apps handy. Security was around and available as well as keeping an open watch. There was a man on the tracks at one point which they kindly asked him to relocate as this is a crime and he could go to jail as well as be injured... He decided to flip them off and go about his way O.o, and they're just trying to do their job and keep him and others safe. Welcome to Artesia Station. One thing I did appreciate about this station aside from security and the friendly bus drivers and seating in places I didn't expect were the art piece and messages from children displayed throughout the pillars of the platform. Very heartfelt. Very mindful. #LoveForArtandHeartinCompton

It could use more lighting even more so given the location (honestly, this whole area is shady!)…read moreBut the few times I've done pickups at this station was pretty smooth. Haven't had any problems yet, and I didn't hear a lot of complaints from passengers I swooped up. But that's all based on no more than a few minutes' worth of waiting for all those times I did come through. But investing in maybe solar powered lighting to brighten it up a little might be a good one...

Long Beach Transit service is not only just buses on the ground but also the watertaxi available…read more My friends and I enjoyed our first watertaxi experience in this July. Long Beach was running its seasonal Water Taxi service during this May 23 to September 1, 2025, a fun, breezy way to get around the harbor for just $1 or $5 a ride! Two routes to choose from: 1. Aquabus (blue route on the map) * Ride time: ~20 minutes * Fare: $1 one way Stops: * Dock 4 by the Aquarium * Shoreline Village (Dock 9) * Queen Mary 2. Aqualink (yellow route on the map) * Ride time: ~40 minutes * Fare: $5 one way Stops: * Dock 4 by the Aquarium * Queen Mary * Alamitos Bay Landing (Berth 3) Tickets: You can buy them ahead through the Long Beach Transit APP, or just pay cash onboard (they can give change). Schedule & tips: Each fare is one way which means you can hop off, explore the area for a while, and then catch another boat back (just pay again for the return). Be sure to check the timetable carefully, especially the last trip of the day. Weekends (Fri-Sun) have more departures than weekdays (Mon-Thu), but either way, it's first come, first served and no reserved seats. If the boat is full, you'll just have to wait for the next one. Parking: Where you park depends on where you board. The official site has detailed info and you can search : Long Beach Water Taxis We parked at 99 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA 90802 (height limit 8'2"). The boats have both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a little snack counter. On our 40-minute ride, we got so caught up chatting with friends that we didn't realize we'd reached the last stop and the crew had to ask if we were staying on for another round. The sun was out in full force, but with the breeze off the water, it felt perfectly relaxing. After heading back, we strolled through Harbor Village and ended the afternoon with a leisurely lunch at Parker's Lighthouse. What a perfect way to wrap up a sunny day on the water and highly recommend it.

Well thanks to the Museum Express, I can get away on a Saturday or Sunday, experience one of the many amazing SoCal museums available to us, while not having to deal with driving or parking. The charter bus used, is normally used for the weekly 405 bus that connects Long Beach to UCLA and is clean and comfortable, most of my friends are hesitant to take public transportation but after sharing my experience and pictures from both times I used the Museum Express, they're open. Easy five stars from me, I hope this service is around for years to come because I definitely plan on utilizing it next experience!

This was one of the best rides I've taken, that I already rebooked my return ride with Moni. I totally recommend booking you next ride with Rides with Moni.

This is an A Line station right on the Pacific Coast Highway in the heart of Long Beach where the PCH comes to town. It's part of the LA light rail network and it's pretty useful. It's close to a lot of neighbourhoods and it's definitely not the nicest place to hang out by any stretch of the imagination, and as a lot of people will tell you, it's pretty sketchy and can be a little dangerous, and there's a lot of panhandlers and whatnot. Long Beach Greyhound station is just a stop from here so that can be really helpful.

I am a frequent rider and have never had any problems, but I also keep my guard up at all times. The station itself is right in the middle of a BUSY intersection, full of angry patrons waiting for the train to go to Downtown LA. There are some "sketchy" activities going on here, but if you're not looking for trouble and minding your own business, nobody will bug you. Also bring hand sanitizer!

Don't expect to get Compt in Compton. Nothing's free, but guaranteed for a lifetime's use…read more When I first started using this line about 15 years ago and I would hop on and off here to visit my part-time girlfriend who lived in Compton, it was one of the worst stations that I used, honestly. It was depressingly bad and a little shocking. However, now they've improved it so much that it actually gets three extra stars. Truly, they've done an amazing job renovating it, modernizing it, making it more safe. Having said that, it still doesn't always feel like the safest place, but they've done everything they could possibly do about it. They deserve every congratulation for that.

I had driver Mary on the way to the airport and Elizabeth on the way home after the trip concluded. They provide car seats for $15 each trip and it's very convenient to have that as an option for infants and/or children who will be traveling with you. Skyline is definitely not the cheapest transportation option but much cheaper options are less reliable with long wait times. The shuttle service will text you the night before your trip with information details about the van and later an ETA (estimated time to arrival). You can call the 1-800 number almost any time you have questions. I say almost any time because I don't think anyone was available to answer at 4am Pacific Standard. Other than that, there is always someone who will answer and answer your questions or change your pick up needs. I would definitely recommend this shuttle service to anyone and I would consider using this ride service in the future.
