Transit In Los Angeles: It's Entertainment

"Los Angeles is a car city, the car city, so let's begin with the honest truth, shall we? The honest truth is: For many of us, the idea of riding the Metro Rail subway in Los Angeles ranks up there with an afternoon at the Natural History Museum or a night of Kabuki theater. An experience we know would be conscientiously edifying -- enjoyable, even -- if we could only overcome that innate reluctance. It just seems so puny and doesn't seem to go anywhere. But that's because we're looking at it all wrong.Look at the Metro instead as a winter boardwalk, your new recreational vehicle, as a whiz-bang trolley to those parts of the city you've always wanted to investigate but were afraid you wouldn't find adequate parking."
