Don't Blog In The Subway
Yes, Victoria, Los Angeles does have a subway. And it even goes to a bunch of different places all over the city, although most of them are places you wouldn't want to go to (even in your car). Still, the subway is clean, fairly quick, and even fun at times as it transitions from underground to above-ground numerous times during your journey.
The best part about the subway is that it is free. That's right--you don't need to pay anything to ride. Now technically, you are supposed to buy a ticket from the machine when you enter the station, but nobody has ever asked me to see mine, so what is the point? Even if you got caught and they kicked you off, you can just walk right back on for free! It is really a beautiful thing, and the reason why Los Angeles subsidizes every subway ride that you take to the tune of about $27 dollars!
The worst part of the subway is that it is filled with people who don't drive. And since everybody drives in LA, this is not necessarily a good thing. Since any good Angelino worth his salt is on the surface behind the wheel of his 1975 Datsun 210, that leaves a whole class of people riding underground that you wouldn't normally want to meet underground. I don't think I've ever been on a ride where I haven't had some guy screaming next to me, or crying, or acting in some other manner that didn't give me cause for concern. But, hey, where else can you get this much entertainment for free in Los Angeles?
