Metro K Line to LAX (Redondo Beach)…read more This line has changed from a straight shot to or from Redondo Beach to Norwalk. Now you must hop on and off the K LINE and exit the LAX drop off just to connect to the green line. It's frustrating but it must be done to get on the green line. Overall, this train is ok compared to the blue and red line. Warning, you will encounter all types of people that are crazy, deranged, violent, smelly, loud, strange, weird etc.. You name it. Overall, it's a solid line for commuting from Point A-B. It's safe pertaining to engineering and train conductors. The people inside determines your experience. Ride at your own risk. This is probably the most convenient way to go to LAX from Redondo Beach.

Maybe Cruel Summer by Bananarama was playing on my walkman, and/or some Fantasy by Mariah Carey... just maybe. This station still has easy parking (free) and connection access to local city Metro services, also smooth access for ride share. There isn't much directly next to Redondo Beach Station, but it's a very short commute to the Best Buys of my youth, Lawndale High where many old friends attended, local city parks, eateries, Manhattan Beach and a elevated dive bar I like, Artesia Bar. Stairs, escalator and elevator access available as this is an high above ground station, similar to Expo/Sepulveda Station, if you know it. TAP kiosk for balance, refill and purchasing of LA Metro Tap cards, though you can also download and use the TAP app with a digital card. It's the last stop on the K Line if traveling on the Pink train from Expo/Crenshaw, or the first if commuting. I'm not on this side of town or the MTA too often, but when I am, I definitely don't mind boarding or exiting at Redondo Beach Station.

Not the best views or layout, they could use more benches, more signs and more machines. But glad it's there. If you need to get to the area, it beats driving!

Many Homeless people hitch this line from Downtown Los Angeles to Downtown Long Beach or vice versa. The smell is horrible! The majority of people riding on this train are lower class income people that has no personal etiquette. This train is out of control. This line lacks safety for your well-being. You hardly see security or law enforcement on this line. Beware of this line, you will encounter all types of people that are crazy, deranged, violent, smelly, loud, strange, weird etc.. You name it. Overall, it's a solid line for transportation from Point A-B. It's safe pertaining to engineering and train conductors. The people inside determines your experience. Ride at your own risk. This depends on the individual riding. If you have street smart and have a thick coat to tolerate these kind of things. You are good to go. So that is why I put a Maybe in rating. Public Transportation is not for everyone. Stay safe

The MOST UNRELIABLE bus company! Big Blue Buses DON'T SHOW…read moreUP half the time. Completely Undependable. Unprofessional. Sometimes the bus arrives 5 minutes early. The driver glances over, then steps on the gas and leaves. You walk to the bus stop ON TIME, they drive by & leave without you. If you are taking the last bus of the night, beware. The last bus DOESN'T SHOW UP and you are stranded there. The "Rapid 7" is the SLOWEST ride ever, drifting down Pico 10 miles an hour. Stopping for 5 minute breaks, pulling over & waiting for periods because the driver says "she's early." If you transfer to another bus, you'll miss it. PLAN ON BEING LATE FOR WORK. Big Blue Bus - SOMETIMES WE SHOW UP, SOMETIMES WE DON'T. But we expect you to pay us a fare.

Big Blue Bus is the Santa Monica municipal bus operator. They have many routes serving…read moreneighborhoods in West LA in addition to their local service in Santa Monica. Route 3 runs from Los Angeles International Airport to Santa Monica. I had a couple 8 hour layovers in LA to and from Australia, so I used that time to visit some areas that I haven't been to in the LA area. To catch this bus, you need to get to the LAX Transit Center. To get there from LAX, catch the free LAX Lot C shuttle bus on the arrivals level of the terminal you arrive at. If you see this bus on the departures level, they won't let you on. You have to catch the bus downstairs. The LAX Lot C bus drops you off across the street from the LAX Transit Center in which you can catch the 3. There are actually two versions of the 3. The Rapid 3 and the local 3. Both cost $1.25 to ride, but the rapid is faster as it skips some stops. While I had been told that traffic was bad in LA and that I should use Uber to get around, I found taking the 3 was pretty good except during rush hour traffic. Even then, traffic was slow but not at a standstill. I made it back to the airport with plenty of time to spare. For the return trip to the airport, follow the sign leading you to the shuttle back to LAX. It is located in the adjoining parking lot. I spent most of my layovers in LA in Marina del Rey which is a good spot. It is not too far away from LAX and there are plenty of places there to eat and drink. I wanted to check out Venice Beach, but the stops on the route are a bit of a distance away from the beach so it require some walking or a bus transfer. Ridership on this bus seems to be a mix of people who work at or near LAX, tourists and commuters. There were some characters on the bus, but typical of a big city like LA. Most people were just looking at their phones while riding. If you have a long layover at LAX, I would recommend checking out nearby neighborhoods like Marina del Rey and Venice. This bus is a good option to getting to those areas, but make sure you give yourself sufficient time to get back. Otherwise, I would opt for Uber for the return trip.

The Los Angeles Metro Expo/Crenshaw Station consists of two distinct parts, located very close to…read moreeach other to make it a transfer station. In effect, it connects the East-West Metro E Line (Expo) to the North-South Metro K Line (Pink), making it a very important station for people trying to get to the airport and sporting venues like Sofi Stadium and Kia Spectrum. The at-grade station servicing the E Line opened on 2012, and was a stop on Phase I connecting downtown LA to Culver City. The underground station being the current terminus of the K Line, opened in 2022. It is quite deep underground (maybe 120 feet), having to take stairs to get to an intermediate floor, and then a long escalator to get to ground level. The two lines do not share a common track, and because the original station is outside, one has to walk street level and possibly cross a busy street to be able to connect. That's what I ended up doing when trying to exit the underground coming from Inglewood, and trying to catch the East bound 'E' train to downtown Los Angeles. Not ideal. The long term goal of the K line is to continue north, connecting to the D line and ultimately the B line. Since both of those lines run underground, it makes sense that this station would be as well. And the connection to make a transfer should be a lot better than what it is in Crenshaw/Expo.

Got there early, good thing the line grew looong and the buses started running early. Maybe because it's a Friday. Parking is free and so is the ride. The buses get packed pretty tight. We got past most of the Friday afternoon traffic. Got thru a couple of bus only lanes as we neared the stadium. They dropped everyone off near one of the gates. After the game it was a short walk back to the bus. Much quicker trip home. It's near the intersection of the Harbor & Riverside fwys. Pros: it's free; no driving with 40000 cars trying to get there; drop off essentially at the gates; no $40 bill for parking and not fighting 40000 cars trying to leave at the same time Cons: buses fill up quickly, could be a long wait, you get packed in like sardines.

To enter the elevated station, one has to cross the tracks themselves, similar to the set-up at Pico station in downtown LA. But unlike Pico, where you can walk to the nearby Staples (crypto.com) Center, it's a lot longer walk to the many famous sports arenas/stadiums that Inglewood has (e.g. Sofi and Forum). It's definitely not set-up to be a main hub. There was talk of Inglewood getting it's own dedicated elevated train to take passengers from here to SoFi...but that's been scrapped for a 'shuttle' solution. There was a restaurant close-by I wanted to try, so ended up getting on/off here. It was a no-fare day, so plenty of Metro employees were at various stations.
