Metro Express – Line 484

Um tried taking this today. Since it was sunday, i waited a long time. I was waiting for it near Pershing Square to take it to El Monte. It finally came, I get on, tap my bus pass then the driver yells «Hey hey! come back its another dollar twenty!». I was like why?! and he said because its an express bus. I didnt have another dollar twenty, thats why i pay for a monthly bus pass, to ride the bus, its already paid! Metro is so stupid for charging another dollar twenty to get on this crappy bus. What a jip.

You know, I don’t know … much about public transportation, obviously.
If you don’t mind guys who are nearing 60-​years-​old, with the top row of teeth missing, with barf on their breath and that randomly talk to you about Tool, The Killers and a bunch of classic rock bands, then … maybe you could feel safe taking the bus alone.
I didn’t. Plus I had to wait an hour on Sunday for this line. That’s way too infrequent for my gas-​fueled ass. It took me three hours to get home … I guess that’s not bad considering this was my first time trying out public transit in LA. I took the Metro Red Line from Hollywood & Vine to Union Station, pissed like a bitch and then hopped on the last Metrolink train out to El Monte and then proceeded to walk five minutes and hop on a bus … an hour later.
Now I’m prepared for next time I take this line — get piss drunk, and ride public transit … it’ll make the experience go by a lot faster. Or at least it will fuel the barf aroma on the bus. Now who’s saying I don’t help make a «green» environment?
