Is it true that you really need a car to get around LA? Or will I be able to get around fine with public transportation?

you can get around with only public transit as I do the same
thing and I don't even drive (I do have a bicycle which helps
the public transit in Los Angeles is pretty manageable once you
know where you are going
plus they have an excellent deal an all day bus pass
for $3.00 which really doesnt expire until 3:00am the following
day.. good on all metro operated routes thats includes
the subway, and light rail
plus Metro also offers rapid bus service on major
corridors (Wilshire ), Vermont, Western,
and express buses in some areas as well
so no you really do NOT a need car in Los Angeles
and if you need transportation in a hurry there is always
a taxicabs.

The public transportation system, such as it is, will not provide for all of your traveling needs. You really will find a car to be a necessity. If you need to travel at 3 am, or to some out lying area for what ever reason, the public transportation can't help you there, only a car will.

i'm heavily a huge fan of trolleys and zeppelins. i'm not being humorous. i could like trolleys yet they're very high priced and individuals do not use public transportation. interior the previous days people went everywhere on the trolley. however the sturdy information, I hear zeppelins are coming back. some corporation has redesigned them for cutting-side flight and that is super. vehicles can not final continuously and not because of the fact of stupid issues like loss of gasoline yet there is not any thank you to handle many greater. people say make greater roads yet you're able to have a limiteless style of roads and nonetheless if it is going to one element the site visitors would be huge. Parking is likewise a attention. As land costs upward push parking homes will would desire to charge one hundred's an hour for payback. this is purely a count of time. using horses? you have have been given to be kidding, i will basically think of what a hundred and fifty million horses could be like.

yes, you will need a car. Of course, one can get around most of the area by public transportation, and one should use p/t when one can, but it really is inconvenient if you need to buy 50 lbs bags of dog food, or want to stock up at Costco.

Public transportation covers a huge amount of the city. And of course it's the cheapest way to move there.

Even with a car, getting around in L.A. is never "fine". It's a very busy city and the roads are really crowded.
