Everything you've heard about LA and our horrendous traffic problem is true.Our freeways are marvelous architectural wonders that can get you almost anywhere in this immense city in the span of 20-30 minutes. HOWEVER: add in all those cars and you have the recipe for horrific extended travel times. From about 7a.m. till about 10p.m. most days now, major LA freeways are clogged with nothing but cars. We used to have a thing called rush hour here, which was basically weekday mornings and afternoons, but that has long been replaced by constant fucking traffic most of the time now on almost any day. For those unlucky to work far from their homes, this can be quite stressful, annoying, and expensive. Ya gotta make sure you have a favorite radio station, CD's, or an iPod to pass the time. No one walks here, but that's because this is such a spread out city, and driving seems to be the only viable option for most of us.
Our public transportation sucks donkey penis. Yeah, we got the buses, trains, and a limited subway system, but it's too big a city, and the wait and travel time stuck in those sardine boxes can be a nightmare. You gotta take some 47 buses, 2 trains, and perhaps even a cab to get from point A to point B sometimes. It does work for many people however, and were it not for them using the public transport system, God knows how much worse our problem would be. Usually our poor minorities ride of course, which is why Spanish is often used on our public transport signs. And taxi cabs are almost non-existent here and very freakin' expensive.
The best times to drive? Probably past 10p.m. till about 6 in the morning. Then you can really appreciate just coasting through our thoroughfares, and seeing how truly amazing these multi-laned masterpieces really are, while the rest of LA's humanity sleeps. Once they wake up, it's hell again.
Perhaps most mornings on weekends too will be quite traffic free, but now even on Saturdays and Sundays we get heavy traffic due to everyone trying to go out somewhere to have fun.
Because everyone wants to live in LA (legal or illegal) due to the opportunities this city provides (yeah RIGHT!) and our phenomenal weather (odd crazy weather if you ask me), we are the car and smog capital of America.
Nothing like doing 75m.p.h. on the 405 Freeway!
Only feasible at 2 a.m. of course.

Indeed I am back. Some fucker took my domain, so I had to rock a new one. Glad you stumbled on it!
I've been building back up my links, so you are now back on. Take it easy.
Traffic is a major problem. A standard trip from here to paadena should take 15min. Yet no.... it can take anywhere from 20min to 45 min depending on the traffic and wonderful accidents.
I blame the breeders and the illegals. Both keep spawning children and children, each with a new car. Ugh..... too many people being born and not enough dying.
Huh and to think people believe children our are future?. Pooh
i love sitting next to drunken bums on the bus. But all things considered, the redline subway is the balls!
