You can walk to the ocean from here also. It isn't as clean and it can be a tad confusing if you don't know the area. But nothing major.

Metro Blue Line has got to be the worst line out of all the Metrorail lines in Los Angeles and Los…read moreAngeles County. 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

I hadn't ridden the metro since pre-covid and I was a little apprehensive in doing so as I had read…read moreabout so many fatal incidents occurring between passengers during covid up until a year ago. I was invited to a friend's holiday party and he lives near the VT Sunset station and didn't feel like dealing with traffic so I decided to take the metro. Nothing has really changed other than the A line (formerly blue line) goes all the way to Pomona now (used to end at 7th St Metro station). They now have some Metro guards that hop on and then off at Rosa Parks station. How about for the entire duration of the route??? One thing I've noticed is the day pass went back down to 5.00 (from 7.00) and the 1.75 fare (one way) has remained the same amount since before covid (probably to keep people riding it). The one pro to this station is plenty of free parking and there were a ton of spots available.

This bus stop also picks up passengers for: Metro 232 (orange bus to LAX) Commuter Express 142 (blue/white bus to San Pedro/Ports O Call) Torrance Transit #3 (green/white bus to Del Amo Mall, Redondo Beach Pier, city of Carson, etc) This is great news to get picked up here instead of waiting for Amtrak bus by Denny's on 6th and Long Beach Blvd. That area was so shady and such a strange location for pick ups. This new location is much better. You must have a confirmed pick up ahead of time or else you cannot get on the bus. No ticket agent or counter is here, it's just a bus stop. So don't forget to make your reservations ahead of time. This bus will take you to Union station where you can connect to Bakersfield, San Diego, etc.... anywhere the Amtrak trains travel in Southern California and beyond.

Long Beach is the big city but it's also really just a big suburb of Los Angeles, although the residents of LB maybe wouldn't be happy to hear me say that. Its Greyhound terminal is very understated, it feels suburban rather than major, and it's just a small building with not too much going on. It's mainly a bus station for the regional services, so that's why it doesn't have too many facilities and isn't too large. Most people just come into the main downtown Los Angeles Greyhound station and then take the public transportation all over the city from there, including the many buses or trains down to LB. But it's totally up to you how you want to do it.

Long Beach Transit service is not only just buses on the ground but also the watertaxi available…read more My friends and I enjoyed our first watertaxi experience in this July. Long Beach was running its seasonal Water Taxi service during this May 23 to September 1, 2025, a fun, breezy way to get around the harbor for just $1 or $5 a ride! Two routes to choose from: 1. Aquabus (blue route on the map) * Ride time: ~20 minutes * Fare: $1 one way Stops: * Dock 4 by the Aquarium * Shoreline Village (Dock 9) * Queen Mary 2. Aqualink (yellow route on the map) * Ride time: ~40 minutes * Fare: $5 one way Stops: * Dock 4 by the Aquarium * Queen Mary * Alamitos Bay Landing (Berth 3) Tickets: You can buy them ahead through the Long Beach Transit APP, or just pay cash onboard (they can give change). Schedule & tips: Each fare is one way which means you can hop off, explore the area for a while, and then catch another boat back (just pay again for the return). Be sure to check the timetable carefully, especially the last trip of the day. Weekends (Fri-Sun) have more departures than weekdays (Mon-Thu), but either way, it's first come, first served and no reserved seats. If the boat is full, you'll just have to wait for the next one. Parking: Where you park depends on where you board. The official site has detailed info and you can search : Long Beach Water Taxis We parked at 99 Aquarium Way, Long Beach, CA 90802 (height limit 8'2"). The boats have both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a little snack counter. On our 40-minute ride, we got so caught up chatting with friends that we didn't realize we'd reached the last stop and the crew had to ask if we were staying on for another round. The sun was out in full force, but with the breeze off the water, it felt perfectly relaxing. After heading back, we strolled through Harbor Village and ended the afternoon with a leisurely lunch at Parker's Lighthouse. What a perfect way to wrap up a sunny day on the water and highly recommend it.

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.

It resides on the outskirts of the city of Compton, Los Angeles, bordering on the northside of Long Beach. It definitely needs some clean up in places and better functionality for safety especially exiting and boarding the platform for the light rail metro. I did notice that there wasn't as much light as the sun set in the parking lot area which is also part of their bus bay depot for lots of connections including one I took more inland down Artesia Blvd. Not a ton of signs and postings for route like you'd hope they'd have to make navigating easy, except for a small few on the platform. The Compton Station is only one away and it's super decked out compared to Artesia. Their Metro tap platforms and metro kiosk don't exist at this station, which I've never seen before. I don't know if they did at one point, but it does mean you can board here without a cost, but should still have a validated physical or digital card (via the Tap app) on your person in case of inspection - you can purchase and reload cards in the app or at local convenience places such as 7-Eleven and CVS to name a few. Some connecting services run more frequently than others so I'd recommend mapping your trip out in advance or having apps handy. Security was around and available as well as keeping an open watch. There was a man on the tracks at one point which they kindly asked him to relocate as this is a crime and he could go to jail as well as be injured... He decided to flip them off and go about his way O.o, and they're just trying to do their job and keep him and others safe. Welcome to Artesia Station. One thing I did appreciate about this station aside from security and the friendly bus drivers and seating in places I didn't expect were the art piece and messages from children displayed throughout the pillars of the platform. Very heartfelt. Very mindful. #LoveForArtandHeartinCompton

It could use more lighting even more so given the location (honestly, this whole area is shady!)…read moreBut the few times I've done pickups at this station was pretty smooth. Haven't had any problems yet, and I didn't hear a lot of complaints from passengers I swooped up.

But investing in maybe solar powered lighting to brighten it up a little might be a good one...
