Erm... well... I am getting ready to write a new fic, and I need some help with location details, and I wasn't sure where else to ask but here! And since I haven't been to CA for YEARS...
Could someone familiar with the LA area please give me some info on bus routes/Metros, etc? Like, where the routes go and where some of the stops are? Just any kind of public transportation route/stops in the general area. When I was there we rented a car and I wasn't old enough to pay attention to anything like that, so I'm really clueless.
Any kind of help any of you can offer would be most splendid indeed!! And much thanks!!  _________________ Though here at journey's end I lie

Just don't take the movie Speed very seriously, but, I think the Buses there are called RTD, and you can probably get a list of routes off the internet. Try googleing Los Angeles County public trasportation and see what comes up...it may give you much more detail than even a local could, unless someone here has been lying about being a bus driver.....  |

My best internet pal lives in Fresno CA. That's about as close as I can get. I'm not sure how often she goes to LA or how much she knows (since she's an expatriate Brit rather than a local) but I shall ask. _________________ Pervy Nazgul Fancier and owner of Fluffy the Fell Beast |

The buses belong to the MTA, Metro Transit Authority. |

Am back from vacation, and saw this post. If you still need info I can have hubby swipe you a transit map and I can scan and send it to you via email if you want.
Let me know,
Keek
Please send me a PM if you want the info or not!
