Welcome to Harbor Gateway Transit Center…read more Located in that city I was born in, Gardena. Truly was not sure where I was, but it's a across from a Home Depot, no lights or real intersection, but a super hub for the LA Metro bus system, including the J Line (aka Silver). Just off the 110 Freeway, by the 91 and nearby the 405 on 182nd Street. I was pleasantly surprised to see they layout here. Easy to navigate, plenty of signs and like a lot of others have mentioned efficient. Times for frequency on weekends are the worst. It was giving, " All he cares about is school and his mom and his friends (and work)." Does the LA Metro not realize people like to enjoy the weekend also after a long hard week? Thankfully I wasn't going to much further from here and caught a ride over to Redondo Beach. The area is a little rough around the edges, but pretty updated and cleaned up where it counts. Definitely should be some safer walking and crossing areas, outside the Transit Center. Public restrooms are available. Parking is also available if commuting with roughly 1,000 spots. LA Metro workers often around and visible. Great way to get to events, work and functions. Hope times, frequencies and connections improve in the future. You can't predict traffic, incidents or human circumstances, but you (LA Metro) can plan better for transfers and smoother rides from point A to B on their end.

On weekday afternoons, there is a bus every 5 minutes. On weekends, they run every 15. We arrive back to the transit center after 10 pm at times and I never feel unsafe.

The metro system is my connection to all of the finer things life in Cali has to offer. I can get to downtown LA in about an hour and get to read a book or write Yelp reviews while I wait. And I can drink if I want to because I don't have to drive. Can't beat that in a car! No way, no how! The Del Amo station is sort of my half way point. It's a clean and relatively safe de-boarding spot when I don't feel like rushing or even going all the way into downtown. The swap meet is just across the street and filled with random cheap items that I probably don't need but like to buy anyway. Where else can you get your eyebrows threaded ($8 bucks), grab some yummy elote to eat AND get acupuncture and ayurvedic teas for what ails you? Grab a shake and fries across the street at Del Amo burger and your set for the afternoon.

MAX is actually part of the Torrance Transit sytem but riding these buses is such a different experience from most Torrance Transit and other buses for that matter. The MAX buses (www.maxbus.com) operate from San Pedro to El Segundo, traveling through Manhattan Beach, Lomita, Palos Verdes, Hermosa, Carson, Gardena and Lawndale. They don't run as often as I'd like them too, but they are the cleanest buses you will ever see. Comfortable cushioned seats-i've never seen seats like these on a bus - with reading lights-unfrickin' heard of in LA, no crappy i pissed on the seats smell to them either-Big Blue Bus please take note of this.

I had a morning class at El Camino one summer; I was expecting to ride the Torrance #5 bus but no, a MAX bus came instead. I asked if this bus makes a stop at El Camino. She said with the most cherriest tone I have ever heard from a bus driver, "Yes! Hop on!" Wow. Never met such an enthusiastic driver! I took this route for the entire Summer school. Sometimes I'd miss the bus coming while I was reading my morning papers and they'd stop and wait for me. Then I'd say, "Oops! Sorry for taking so long, but thank you for waiting!" Wow. Another time I was so tired in the morning from waking at 6am (I'm a late & heavy sleeper) I'd nod off to sleep, then fall asleep right on the bench. The driver was nice enough to get off the bus and stroke me on the shoulder, so gently waking me up... unlike my actual mother who'd would pull the covers and slap me awake... Sometimes in the afternoon, I'd go straight to my friend's house in San Pedro from either the School or from my usual transfer point at Crenshaw & Pacific Coast. However there is a downside. It only operates in one direction per day. North bound in the morning then South bound in the afternoon.

RE: TaxiCard for RPV seniors…read more I don't think the staff at PVPTA are genuinely willing to help, as their only advice was to be patient and keep calling if the TaxiCard company doesn't answer your booking call. Last Thursday was my first time using the service, and I attempted to book a ride while standing outside on the street because the reception inside the medical building was poor (the call got disconnected twice). I spent over 20 minutes waiting for someone to answer my call, but in the end, nobody picked up. I contacted PVPTA to share this bad experience, hoping they would address it and find ways to improve the service for other very elderly seniors who might face similar situations in the future. Unfortunately, I was disappointed when the PVPTA staff simply told me to "be patient" and keep trying. Why can't the staff contact TaxiCard directly to investigate whether they are treating TaxiCard users as "second-class" citizens because of the discounted rates? Interestingly, when I called the same taxi company for a regular ride during rush hour, they responded promptly!

This is a symptom of failure of city services and the government at large.

2 minute Read: Not too many years ago, METRO EXPRESS LANES…read moredecided to DC (DisContinue) their Toll Booth system of charging Drivers for using Toll roads. They went high tech and "WHALLA", the TRANSPONDER came into use. For those not familiar with METRO EXPRESS LANES & Transponders, it's simply a modern & efficient way of letting Drivers use Toll Roads, Diamond Lanes, HOV LANES, Toll Bridges, etc., w/o the need to stop at a TOLL BOOTH. On the Metro Express website*, you can open & establish an account*. You will be sent a small electronic transponder that mounts on your (front) car windshield. Once set up, the transponder will keep tract of your usage, when you are in express lanes, toll bridges (etc) and won't need to worry. NOW, about yesterday, we were driving a Loaner (car) as our car was in for routine maintenance. We drove to Orange County but forgot we weren't driving our regular, transponder equipped car. JWe wound up using express lanes two or three times, but came to realize we had no transponder. That was yesterday. Today I called Metro Express Lanes and a beautiful voiced girl answered my call. Her name was (is) Kaliyah. I explained the issue, about not having my transponder, etc. She listened patiently, while my mouth was going off. When I was done, she (very professionally) already had the solution to what I could expect, for using the express lanes without my transponder. She was very precise, courteous, patient and kind, as she detailed what could be done, Well needless to tell you, Karliah subdued my anxiety and guilt, faster than You can spit!

I think this is a notable bus stop with a Fare Purchase Machine and should have its' own page. The address for this page's bus stop only has 1 bench, no covering, nothing. So much less here than the bus stop I was trying to add. ___________ This is by far one of Torrance's finer bus stops! I hope Torrance Transit renovates or enhances their other bus stops! Today was my first time to stop here. It was getting dark out and I was glad that it was nicely lit! I felt safe under the lights! I also liked the somewhat more comfortable benches and the roof that provides a little shade. There are message boards that scroll the time & other information. There is a bus stop across the street heading West. This one is Eastbound on Carson Street. This side is the one that has a machine to purchase your TAP Card (or reload it) or buy various other fares/passes. With all the pros I've written about, the one big con I have is that the Torrance Buses are not too punctual!! Generally, they are about 2-5 minutes late. I always arrive 5 minutes early to ensure I won't miss my bus because you know that one time you arrive on time, the bus will probably be early! You don't want to miss a Torrance Transit bus because they don't run as often as the DTLA ones! You can catch these bus lines from this Eastbound stop: 3, R3, 6, 7, and 9. Regardless of the punctuality or lack thereof, I will ride the bus when I need to. It's not that big of a deal and it doesn't cost much other than time and a few coins. Travel and wait times will eat up your time, but public transportation gives you time to do things other than stressing in traffic!

Great bus service in the City of Cerritos…read more The "COW" has multiple buses that circle the city. Great for getting to either of the Cerritos malls (Los Cerritos or Towne Center), a park, the senior center or to the library at the civic center. Fifty cents will get you anywhere and you'll always have a comfortable place to sit as they rarely get crowded. I find the bus drivers to be very friendly and personable - they give up a smile very easily - and from my experience they make safety a priority. Timetables and routes are available on the city's website (cerritos.us) or you can pick up a copy at city hall.

In terms of a small-time civic-owned public form of transportation, the Cerritos on Wheels is one…read moreof the best around. The buses were recently upgraded to the one you see in the picture via federal grant monies. The buses run on natural gas, so they offer a more environmentally friendly form of public transit. The fare for a single trip anywhere in Cerritos is $0.50. The buses also offer monthly passes for $20.00. They have essentially two routes going in opposite loops around the city (meeting at the Cerritos Civic Center). From one end of town to the other end, say from CPE to the Cerritos mall, roughly takes almost an hour. So, if you have the patience, or don't have a car of your own, be prepared for a 45-1 hour commute. In the meantime, you'll be able to view Cerritos from a different perspective: sideways! The design of the rear of the buses are stylistic representations of various sites and landmarks of Cerritos. One may have a stylized image of the Cerritos Library, for example. Another may have one of the Cerritos Performing Arts Center. These are ways to keep track of the actual buses that you may have sat in, as there are about 8 total buses running around town. The only downside is that the buses don't run very late (after 9pm). But in all other respects, these buses run well and have pretty cool air conditioning (a must in hot and muggy summers).

I was in search of a limousine service that could provide a nostalgic feel with a modern vibe and I found it in Hawthorne, Ca. I'm here writing this Yelp review, one of VERY few. This is where I found the reviews I read about this company to be intriguing enough for me to check them out for myself. It was a slight challenge in the beginning to locate the actual office since it's in a shared space however, once I was in the right place it was smooth sailing from there! I presented my vision and the team worked with me from day one to bring it to life. I felt heard, understood, and assured that this would be a birthday celebration that I would always remember and cherish. Being that I'm visual I had the opportunity to stop by to see the limo and ask additional questions both in person and over the phone. For my special day, I chose to be chauffeured around for the entire day. I contracted for an A/D service (as directed). I chose the city I wanted and was able to make as many stops as I wanted within the timeframe that I requested. It was a blessing that the sun shined brightly this day because it was a huge factor in helping my vision be fulfilled. My morning began at church, then on to brunch, then an escape room, then handcrafting a Charcuterie board which came out beautiful and lastly some dancing. When I say it was a full day....I was happily exhausted! Here are a few take aways based on my experience. Vehicles: Stretch Limos Sprinters SUVs All nice and well maintained Chauffeur: Attentive, professional, patient, funny and courteous. His overall pace seemed to be better suited for a singular destination rather than mutiple when considering time constraints. Nonetheless, this didn't ruin my day. Customer Service: Five star, excellent, professional appearance, respectful, met expectations, prompt, open and effective communication. Service Fees: Extremely feasible Based on service date and/or day, hours peak vs off peak, location and occasion. At the end of the day, I would HIGHLY recommend the services of this limousine company. And, I'm looking forward to being an ongoing client.
