Sorry but there are little to no inter transit bus connections to other agencies. This is a very fast bus because the frequency is very good. This bus can be very crammed at times but luckily because frequency is good there are other buses of the same route nearby. You don't have to work yourself up if one vehicle is crowded. If you are a tourist this is your bus to go to different points of interests all the way the way to Santa Monica beach. They no longer have the 920 because it is long gone. It is gone due to low ridership. I would ride this bus again is possible even with the cramming.

The Rapid 720 is the east-west artery that gets me from my residence near Beverly and Wilshire to most spots, especially Union Station downtown (via a connection at either the Wilshire/Western or Wilshire/Vermont Metro stations). There are lots of homeless and weirdos on this particular line, but you will get the hang of it once you ride it regularly. Until the Wilshire/Rodeo station opens in 2025, this is the best we've got. If anyone makes you uncomfortable, sit as close to the front of the bus and the driver as possible. The bus drivers are told to allow/ignore fare evaders, which I think is a foolish policy, but there's nothing I can do about that. The Rapid 920 was a super-limited service which they have since discontinued and are unlikely to resume given that they're building new stations as far west as the VA anyway. Download the Metro app if you haven't already. That allows you to know exactly when a bus is coming. Hey, it's not perfect, but it works.

Seriously what can you get for a quarter these days? There are two routes: the Green Line and the Blue Line. Stops are clearly marked along the routes...just look for the blue ACT signage.

Stars off because they have changed the dropoff location of the buses to a parking lot, instead of dropping you off right at the ticket windows. If you are disabled and can't do the walk from the parking lot, you will now need to wait for a golf cart to take you the rest of the way. No worries, they have the cart, but it's less convenient. The bus has a lot of passengers getting loud and obnoxious. Also, I did not appreciate driver Mohammed stumping for tips multiple times, including asking the passengers directly, waving around a tip jar and even posting his Venmo.

But a few notes. First, the Amtrak Thruway buses do not board there, but rather on the west side of Union Station, near the Starbucks (the signage is very vague in this regard). Second, the FlixBus boards across the street, at the Vignes lot at 501 N. Vignes at Cesar Chavez Ave. MegaBus does use the transit plaza. The FlyAway buses to LAX are convenient, and leave on or at the top of the hour, using the carpool lanes all the way to LAX. Even if you drive, you won't get to LAX faster, not to mention parking, gas, and so on. The new Foothill Transit bridge to the Silver Streak boarding area on the south end of the plaza is nice, but also has poor wayfinding signage. There's a Denny's within walking distance directly across from the plaza on Rameriz Street if you get hungry before your connecting bus.

The Gold Line is arguably the cleanest, and the train on which you're least likely to get tuberculosis of the rainbow lines.

Great for folks who don't mind walking a bit, or who like to have a few adult beverages and don't want to risk a DUI. All riders now must have a TAP card (purchase and reload at the kiosks) or a pass... No more paper tickets.
