Now I just have to decide whether to head west on Santa Monica, Olympic or Pico?? They are all pretty evil. I find it hard to believe that they will make my 6 mile commute longer than the 45 minutes I spend in my car.-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219605016191141923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823678452784485126.post-81915631916511567432008-04-16T22:29:00.000-07:002008-04-16T22:29:00.000-07:00One thing I often see left out of these "take the ...One thing I often see left out of these "take the bus/metro" and save money posts is the cost of parking. If I drove to school/work, I'd have to pay about $60 a month (with a permit) or $8 for a day pass. I pay a quarter each way on the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, the subsidized student rate. I've found that I've saved a lot of money on filling up less and not buying parking permits. My only gripe is that it takes bit longer 'cause the bus takes the busy route to UCLA.cindyluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153325833848911874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823678452784485126.post-51114896431895928572008-04-15T21:39:00.000-07:002008-04-15T21:39:00.000-07:00I live in Redondo and work in Venice - you'd think...I live in Redondo and work in Venice - you'd think there was an easy way to get from one beach city 16 miles down the coast to the other right? No. They suggest (metro.net) that I take a bus to downtown LA (thereby going in land and off route) and then back down to Venice.<BR/><BR/>Sadly I will not be taking the bus anytime soon. I did take it for the first 2 years I lived in LA when I was license-less and it was totally fine aside from grocery shopping and at night.<BR/><BR/>I am lucky (?!) that my boyf and I work at the same place and do the same hours so we carpool.. I guess that is one less car on the road right?Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570595116352480722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1823678452784485126.post-16275163759553098172008-04-15T12:52:00.000-07:002008-04-15T12:52:00.000-07:00It's a good idea, but if everyone does it, you hav...It's a good idea, but if everyone does it, you have London and hell. What you need is to get rid of two of those lanes, one each way, and put an overground, air-conditioned and clean rapid transit system in. Pay for it by taxing the hell out of motorists.
