    Unfortunately, the US doesn't have as good public transportation compared to other parts of the…read moreworld such as Japan or Korea. Public transportation could alleviate some of the 105/605 traffic and help the overall environment, but we're left with what we have. The public transportation in California is dysfunctional. This station (and most others in the GreenLine) is dirty and rarely cleaned. Most of the trash generated is just from homeless or inconsiderate people, so it is constantly getting trashed. (I feel bad for the custodians.) To deter homeless people from camping here, there are no bathrooms, chairs are uncomfortable to sit on, trashcans are limited, and it is open to the harsh environment. As of the time of this writing, the price to enter is $1.75 one way. If you get on the wrong train/direction, you can always just transfer for free if you tap. But also, no one pays because there is hardly any enforcement, and some of the entrance scanners are broken. Most commuters are regular people just trying to get to work, but you will always have that one mentally ill, inconsiderate, or homeless person who causes a nuisance during your ride every once in a while. Expect to encounter one of them, so you don't get completely shocked when it happens. This station takes you to LAX if that is your main destination. I only take the train because my work pays for it, so it is free for me. I just wish it were cleaner and comfortable to ride public transportation here in the US.

    So this is pretty much standard for the transportation system through LA in other words it's really…read morebad as it takes forever to get anywhere with the multiple routes that really don't intersect very well making it a total mission to get where you have to go no matter what time of day it is! Getting from place to place will cost you about $1.75 each way and your required to have one of their tap cards on you if your choosing to ride otherwise you might be subject to a fine from what I hear is pretty hefty so just get it and pay it! If your looking to go somewhere out of LA your going to have to take the train to the end then a very long bus ride to get to where else you gotta go it's quite the effort logistically trust me I tried it so with that said your better off getting a ride! On the plus side I did find that the majority of the trains were like almost new so that was definitely something nice about it but that's really it. Overall this is public transportation in LA and it's not that great hence why everyone drives but if you can get away from having to drive and you have time to kill then by all means take the train if not stick to driving your better off that way!

    This is the first stop on the Green/C line of the Metro. They have a large parking lot of 1800…read morespots. I don't take the Metro on the regular, so I can't comment on what it's like to park here on a weekday. It appears that they put in a $3/day fee on weekdays, to help with freeing up more spots for daily commuters. Parking here is free on holidays and weekends. I chose to park here when taking the C line to go to Sofi Stadium. It costs $1.50 to take the C line from Norwalk to LAX/Metro Station. There's a complimentary shuttle at that stop to go to SoFi. It's a great reason to come by. I look forward to when the LAX People Mover opens in 2026. I hope that will be a game changer in the LAX experience! For those headed to LAX, they have shuttles to and from LAX going around the clock. I don't know that I'd want to take the metro to LAX with my large luggage; however, I think it's absolutely the cheapest way to access LAX and SoFi Stadium!

    I'm not that into wasting my time and money on driving and paying for parking if public…read moretransportation is gonna get me where I want to go. With just a little effort I found out that I could ride the metro C line and get to El Segundo and not have to deal with rush hour traffic on the ride home. The Chargers new practice facility The Bolt was my destination and the train station was within walking distance. The parking lot in Norwalk had plenty of parking spaces and costs $3 for the day. The Norwalk station is at the beginning of the metro line and so it was very easy to find an open seat. This was my first time riding on it and it was pretty nice. Quicker than the flow of the 105 in a lot of places. There were many stops on the way to El Segundo and you don't wait very long before you are on the way again. On open stretches of the freeway we actually moved faster than the cars! so this train is fast. Tip - make sure you pay for your parking pass. Security guards check your car's license plate and will ticket you. Also the lot is patrolled by the police as well as the Security Patrol. I was pleasantly surprised at how well run the Norwalk Transit Authority provided for a safe and effective way for the public to use the buses and metro rail.

    "Who am I and why am I here?" 1992 VP candidate Admiral Stockdale asked the audience in the Vice…read morePresidential debate.The green line should be asking that question. First, it is a train that goes directly to LAX. Oh wait, it actually does not. It goes toward LAX, it is only 2 miles away and in my opinion decides, "Airplanes scare me! I'm going to run away. Besides, why should anyone at an airport use trains when they have planes?" It runs away from the airport and a few stops later completes its terminus at Redondo Beach. There's one problem: at the stop, there is no beach. In fact, there is no beach for three miles. A beach is an area with sand, tourists, ice cream shops and saltwater, not a place 3 miles from sand, tourists, ice cream shops and saltwater. The eastern end of the green line is similar. It ends at Norwalk and there is a metrolink stop at Norwalk. A line connecting South LA to metrolink is a neat idea Except the green line does not connect to the metrolink stop. The green line apparently gets bored because no one is riding it, it therefore gets tired out and decides to go no further in my opinion. Sour grapes much? Message to the LA Metro: going 2 miles away from LAX is not going to LAX, it is going to an empty airfield and large buildings. A beach is a beach, not 3 miles from a beach. Most importantly, few in my opinion will transfer to metrolink if there is no station transfer for 2 miles. There's a hike in the San Gabriel Mountains called Bridge to Nowhere. Apparently there are trains to nowhere too, even in LA where somewhere is everywhere. I know LA is working hard to extend a rail connection to LAX, hopefully they one day can be like SF, Atlanta, NYC and Chicago and have a train connection to the airport. I also know LA wants to extend the green line south toward Torrance. When LA does, I will be happy.
