Brilliant Public Transit in LA
LA has a complicated public transit system. There's the giant Metro that runs over 200 bus lines and 5. Then there are countless other carriers serving different parts of the greater LA. I have been using this public transit system more lately. I would cite the higher gas prices as a reason, although there's another one that I'm not going to disclose here...
With so many carriers, sometimes it becomes necessary to transfer from one to another. My experience is limited to Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus and Culver Citybus. But there are already enough amusement.

- The non-transfer fare is the same, 75 cents. Simple, huh?
- Transfers within Culver Citybus are free.
- Transfers within Big Blue Bus cost 50 cents extra, so it's $1.25.
- Transfers from Big Blue Bus to Culver Citybus is also $1.25.
- Transfers from Culver Citybus to Big Blue Bus is 25 cents extra, so it becomes $1.
