    The Metro Green Line is a solid mode of transportation…read more The TAP CARD is a decent system, 'tho without any staff to help through the purchasing of tickets, it can be challenging for tourists and visitors, especially those from not only out of town, but especially those from out of the country who may have language barrier issues and require assistance. It's not well explained and it should be as simple as how the Nor Cal BART system has it showing from the departing place you are currently at, how much exactly it costs to get to each destination and fees for changing colored train lines if transfers are required. It should be that simple to lay out and explain. Otherwise, everyone is probably just buying the $6 All-Day Tap Card. The Redondo Station is really nice, the parking lot is near Tommy's Burgers, the VW Dealership and Costco. Parking is FREE, I'm not sure if it's secured or not and speculate those who park there are parking for a longer term, so opportunistic criminals probably know that ('tho it's heavily traveled and occupied so there's witnesses galore and it's not that secluded). Be smart. Be safe. Especially in the early morning or late at night. Don't leave valuables neither visible nor stored inside if you can avoid it. This train station is clean, and it probably gets "worst" from here as it travels from the suburban feeling South Bay beach cities through the urban jungle known as Los Angeles and all of the lower socio-economic areas, so you'll see some sketchy folk (read the signs about not using your cell phones to avoid grab n' snatch thieves who will yank your phone from your hands and run out of the exit door quickly if you're not paying attention). If you show fear, and look nervous, you'll appear to be a ripe victim, so be confident and aware of your surroundings. Don't look around or up. Don't stare at people. Keep to yourself. The seats are comfortable, and know that some seats are sideways (reserved for elderly and handicapped) and others are turned backwards (and forwards) since the train goes in both directions, not a circle. People bring their bikes inside the train too. I was going to the Chinatown area, so took the Green to the Blue to the Red and the end of the line is Union Station. It took about 1 hour, and we went by El Segundo, parts of 'tha 'hood", and even the LA Convention Center and Staples Center, which is good to know how easy it is to get to downtown and avoid both traffic, gas and parking expenses.

    I use the Green Line almost weekly to avoid traffic, parking and driving to Downtown. The Redondo…read moreStation is at the west end of the line and Norwalk is the East end of the line. The parking at the Redondo station is almost always empty and I have parked there, took the green line to the LAX station and used their free shuttle to LAX to avoid airport parking costs. I have asked parking security if there was a maximum amount of days you can park there and he said no. This is a safe lot too because it is by the Northrup Grumman building and it is not a place where people hang out. Usually though I am taking the Green Line to the Blue line to go to Staples Center. The Pico exit from the Blue Line is 1/2 block from Staples and it makes it an easy commute. It costs $3 for a day pass and you do not have to worry about traffic or $20 parking either (it takes about 45 minutes to go from Redondo to Pico station) From the Redondo/Marine Station you can catch the Beach Cities Transit: Northern Route #102 operates between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., on 20 to 45 minute headways, serving the Redondo Beach Pier, Civic Center, Redondo Union High School, Beach Cities Health District, South Bay Galleria, aerospace companies in North Redondo and the Marine Avenue Greenline station. Pacific Coaster Route 109 operates between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., on 20-40 minute headways serving the Redondo Beach Riviera Village, Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach, Downtown Manhattan Beach, Downtown El Segundo, the Metro Aviation Green line Station and the LAX City Bus Center. www.redondo.org/depts/bdtpm/transit/beach_cities_transit.asp Some of the info on the website is has not been updated.

    Southbay yelpers this is the coolest bus! These buses rock the public transit world! They kick…read moreass!! 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'm waiting for a butler to come by or a passenger next to me to ask 'if I have any grey poupon'. MAX BUSES TO LAX: Take the #2 bus to the Aviation Green Line Station and hop a free 'G' bus to the Airport. I take this bus from time to time. And the bus driver takes the time to start a conversation with me. Now when she sees me riding my bike to work, she actually toots her horn and waves at me. LA needs more MAX buses-we need one to stop right in front of my place ; )

    I never thought I would actually want to use a route again and again and again... MAX bus is the…read moreonly one I can think of beside the BART in the San Francisco Bay area. 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.

    This review is for the Eastbound bus stop on Carson Street near Del Amo Circle E. Yelp decided to…read morecombine the stop I was trying to add with this one. 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!

I was going to just order an Uber ride but then I noticed a bus sign for the Beach Cities Transit and a map showing me that it actually stopped at Diamond and PCH in Redondo Beach which was just a block away from my final destination. The sign said it was only $1 too so it was a no brainer to give it a try. In fact, I only had to wait 5 minutes and a shuttle van came rolling up to the station. This route was the 102 and it takes you on a random route though through a North Redondo Beach neighborhood and finally passing by the Southbay Galleria mall and then to the beach cities to end up at the Redondo Beach pier and then back again. It wasn't that crowded, mostly some out of towners headed to the pier from the station and then picking up a few kids with their skateboards along the way. Funny, I'd never even rode this before when I lived in the South Bay. I took care of what I needed to do and then just waited for the bus at Diamond and PCH again to be taken back to the Green Line station. It was totally worth it and I like the idea of leaving the driving to somebody else. BCT Line 102 hours are 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on 30 to 45 minute headways. I suppose the schedule gets off at times but for what it's worth, it's a fairly convenient service and much appreciated. There is also a 109 shuttle which heads more north/south through the beach cities and ends up at LAX. If I have to get to the beach again via the Green Line, I'll be taking the BCT shuttle again.

    Rating has to be the lowest any bus comapies can get. BCT's schedule info to public on Saturday…read moreelectronically & those posted on signs at Greenline Station are untrue. Try to fool the public. People can wait up up to 45 - 110 minutes while sign shows every 30 minutes for Sat PM. BCT's bus fare is the highest in the area
