[EARLY VIDEO] LA Has 45 Bus Systems...I Tried to Ride Them All in One Weekend
Added 2024-12-18 02:51:54 +0000 UTC
Alright, managed to get it out the night before! Hope this was worth the wait!
(by the way, next week's early video is also still cooking, but I'm hoping to get it out by the end of this week. Working on getting back to the week-early schedule but it's tough when these recent videos have taken so long to edit!)
Honestly I didn't consider it! The traffic looked fine until I was on the bus, so I figured a nonstop bus would take just as fast as an Uber while being a lot cheaper to ride.

Dare I ask--did you consider Ubering from Union Station to LAX at that last stretch? Or was that extra one system just _worth the risk of missing a flight_?

I don't entirely know, it seemed like one electric bus crapped out, and then the next one arrived 20 minutes late so it needed to wait another 20 minutes to charge, so that led to the 60-minute gap!

I’m now enjoying watching this on my big TV.
Merry Christmas Miles.
Cone to London in 2025 and I’ll guide you through all our transit.

Hope you can get out to the Inland Empire, especially if Brightline West gets built. RTA, OmniTrans, Victor Valley Transit, even Beaumont Transit.

I live in Hemet, it’s Riverside Transit Agency. They also run the Go Micro on demand service, though it’s very inconsistent.

Could it be the plethora of homeless ppl of LA are simply commuters waiting for an imaginary bus?

We thank you for your bravery and service.
And btw, even as long as 10 years ago, the LA metro to me was a pretty reliable and frequent service for me. I remember taking the Metro Rapid from Santa Monica to Wilshire/Western (I think) thinking this was better than what I thought about LA.
You need to do a minibus tour of the world! Actually, I’d love to see you go to the Philippines and take their transit there! That’s another adventure in itself😅

This video is exactly why there are recent efforts up north to consolidate 27 of the Bay Area's transit agencies.

I've ridden on lots of E450s where I handed quarters to the driver and the bus stopped behind a grocery store--- but it was always in tiny towns in the Pacific NW. Really curious to see that in LA County!

Does anyone know if Hemet has its own transit company or if it just Riverside?

It's good lol. The Lawndale Beat has existed for a while, Metro just added it to the big map (although from my experience it's extremely ephemeral).

Jeez, and I thought it was bad having nine different systems covering Greater Toronto.

Never in a million years I thought I would see you at my home shopping center of Plaza West Covina! To think that if I was walking around that day I would’ve met the legendary Miles in Transit crashing out over local buses

NGL when I saw you were doing this on Twitter I tried to run into you on Beach Cities Transit (my local one) but I failed
