Getting Around Los Angeles
Los Angeles is one of the largest cities in the United States and a very popular tourist destination. Greeting millions of tourists each year, Los Angeles welcomes travelers with plenty of ample transportation options, including public and private choices. Plenty of companies in surrounding cities also offer airport transportation to popular airports such as LAX, John Wayne and Ontario.
One of the most convenient and widely spread transportation choices in Los Angeles is the Metro Transit. With several north-south and east-west train routes through the heart of the city and bus routes densely scattered, visitors find the Metro system as the most affordable public transportation option. Also the Metro buses run to the popular beach neighborhood cities. Those cities often have their own bus system, which all accept inner-city transfer tickets purchased on Metro lines.
Another mode of transportation popular with tourists who want to see the sights is the Starline Tours bus system. With stops at major tourist destinations all over West Los Angeles and Hollywood, travelers may pay a flat daily fare and board or exit the bus at any of the stops, enabling them to enjoy countless attractions without the hassles of driving or getting lost.
Guests who want to travel in style by being chauffeured and feel like a star may charter a limo or luxury car. Nearly every luxury vehicle choice imaginable is available for varying prices. Rare vehicles may need to be reserved in advance, but most companies offer their services on short notice.
Also available are numerous rental car companies. Popular and trusted companies such as Alamo, Budget, Hertz, Enterprise, Thrifty and Dollar are all found near every airport and throughout the city, offering affordable prices. In several areas of West Los Angeles, companies offering luxury and rare attractive rental cars may be found.
