Los Angeles Metro/Public transportation - Los Angeles - General Tips & Advice Reviews

As part of my adventure in California last summer, I had to find my way from Woodland Hills down to Newport Beach in Orange County. I thought it would be difficult, due to the fact that I didn't know HOW!

I desided to call the Metro (this was early Sunday morning) and they were very helpful in telling me the exact way of transportation and times in which to get there. It was unfortunately a bus strike in OC, so I could only get to Anaheim/Disneyland by Public Transportation.

Ok.. I got on a bus in Woodland Hills, which took me to Universal. From here I took the train to Central Station in LA. Both the station and the train was so clean and at the station there are elevators for people like me with lots of bags, or easy acces for those who have a hard time walking. It was real great.
It was a little bit difficult to find the right exit out of the Central Station. The nice girl I met at Universal, were going the same way as me, only not all the way to Anaheim. So she helped me, or should I say us, so we found our way out.
We managed to find the right bus stop, and were on our way in a bus again.

The price is 5$ and an additional 2$ for Highway fee. So my entire trip from Woodland Hills to Anaheim cost me 7$.
And the cab drive from Anaheim to Newport Beach cost me about 30$. :o(
But if there hadn't been a bus strike in OC, the whole trip would have been only 7$, which is real cheap considering the distance and change of transportation.

I found that getting around in the area are quite easy and cheap, and I recommend it to anyone who don't have or don't want to use a car.
