How to Get Around LA Without a Car | DamonAndJo 

To anyone watching this who wants to go to Santa Monica via public transportation! A Santa Monica Expo Line was completed in 2015, so you can now go to Santa Monica with the Metro rail by connecting to the Santa Monica Expo line from Union Station.

they're arguing about the west the north and they don't look at the map .

Do you know how to do LA car-less? How to Get Around Without a Car [LA]

I’m from Venice Beach and I didn’t have a car until I was 27.... didn’t need it in LA/Santa Monica/Marina Del Rey....

I love y'all charisma. I'm subscribing!

This video saved me soo much money. Thanks guys!

OMG... I live in LA and I am about to try this... just for fun! Thanks for helping me figure this out!! :)

NYC is the best city to move using public transportation. A ride is US$2.75 but it includes a free transfer to a bus. (By the way I'm thinking to move to LA)

I moved to California and I can tell you it's hard as heck living here without a car. Not to say it's impossible, but HARD. You'd be better off getting a car

Hey just to let you know that Metro when up! its a $1.75 one way and $7 all day pass! LA is so expensive and I'm from here!! :-(

In edmonton its 3.25$ an all day pass is 9$ and a monthly pass is like 55$ youth 97$ adult... talk about expensive.. I needa move

In LA, a trick some of us have to find North is to face the sierra mountains haha By facing the mountains you are facing North. :)

The ocean is actually south-ish. California is an L shape and if you're in LA area it's gonna be towards the south.

I have taken it....and since that video was posted their public transportation system has expanded...its just that it take forever.....I just take Lyfts now...

LA without a car is a hell but I don't have a drivers license :(

Metro rail now makes it Santa Monica from Downtown L.A. Lots of stops, so it will take a while.

and... i'm lost already, miss u both. U guys betta find the train for Ct :)

lol lol this was so confusing.

Riding the bus in LA is a downright nightmare (I'm talking about MTA busses)! I didn't get a car until I was 20 and had to rely on the bus. Never ride it until you have hours to spend waiting for two busses to arrive at the same time.

when its hot definitely get on the bus it be blasting that ac thoo lol

they're arguing about the west the north and they don't look at the map .

I tried for about 90 minutes, then I went back to the house and got the car. LA does not have a whole lot of sidewalks unless your in downtown LA, and if there is a sidewalk, the pedestrians are an afterthought. My experience there was that much of LA county caters to motorist and not pedestrians or people with bicycles.

This video must exist in portuguese 😕

That's a great video! I went to LA once and couldn't appreciate the city since I had no car! And also could you do a video about european cities vs american ones? quel type de villes préférez-vous?

if you buy the 1 day pass, does it work unlimited all day and for the subway system too or no?

Based on the sun ans shadows...Damon is right!

Getting back home from San Diego, I took the ferry, the bus, the shuttle, an Uber, a train, a bus to LAX, then a airplane.

Is uber and lyft just a lot more expensive out there?

I didn't think la transport was that bad honestly

this is a helpful video thanks so much I normally don't comment but thanks my dream has always been to visit los Angeles I'm 19 I'm not older enough to rent a car

I applaud you!

I love you guys.

G I R L ive lived all my life in LA just buy a damn bike the metro system is fine and its better than sitting in traffic for an hour

That's cheap. I live in Vancouver Canada and it's $2.75 for one zone metro or a bus anywhere, up to $5.50 to travel through 3 zones on the metro from the airport. And you pay again if you don't have a $6 pass card going from bus to metro.

Nice video, guys! Do you recommend to rent a car or the traffic sucks? Im planning to travel on august.

Ever since I got my license I couldn't imagine going back to using public transport in this city lmao

A DOLLAR 50 FOR THE BUS SOME BUSES ONE DOLLAR I LIVE IN WACK ASS PHILADELPHIA AND ITS 2.25 AND A DOLLAR FOR A TRANSPASS IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE 3 BUSES THAT A WHOLE NEW AND COMPLEX ORDEAL IM SO UPSET AT MY CITY

I was able to get around LA commuting. LA is one of the cities I often visit when I'm in The US if not NY. Though the areas are limited. Yes buses run less frequently compared to NY. But since I usually stay in either West LA or Culver City, buses there run more frequently especially The Culver City Bus and Santa Monica Big Blue Bus! Best to get those transfers and schedules!

$5 for DayPass? Is that like unlimited ride? That would be awesome. As I am on a budget.. and Santa Monica is Big Blue Bus. Nice. Thank you for the information.

what y'all do for money man I wan to be traveling like y'all

Is it possible to live in LA for years without a car? I hate driving. Or I should just choose New York? I want the california weather, though...

LOL you guys are so cute! Thanks for the tid bits! New York Representing! LOL

but is anyone here in 2020? like wow damon looks so different now!

And how about the commuter train like the metro link

You guys are fun and deserea like 💚

damon looks like such a baby but he sounds the same.

omg u guys are so adorable!

UPDATE: there IS a metro rail in Santa Monica now and you can cheat a ticket so easily, just be ready to get flashed by old homeless men! -ur resident LA teen

*yall fashion sense was looking crusty back then, but wow the sass was still there*

BABIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

oh wow that’s cool, jo said “never eat soggy worms” but i always thought it was “never eat soggy waffles”

Damon and Jo: I used to be from L.A. and I could see from your video you were in Santa Monica (I recognize the area you were in from your background) and you were on an axis. Santa Monica is not perpendicularly north and south, it lurches so if you were on any number street 2nd to 20th your street was Northwest to Southeast if you were on one of the boulevards (Wilshire, Santa Monica, Pico, Olympic) your street was Northeast to Southwest. I know transit in L.A. like the back of my hand- You said Santa Monica had no rail- beginning this spring 2016 the Expo line going from Downtown Los Angeles to Culver City will commence new extended service to Santa Monica at 4th and Colorado. About Big Blue Bus (originally known as Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines) if you were to use BBB extensively they had a separate day pass like MTA of L.A. has. Remember also Los Angeles isn't bad on owl routes 12am-5am. Line 20 (Wilshire Blvd), Line 4 (Santa Monica Blvd) run frequent service every 15-30 minutes through this time. Los Angeles is creeping up the better transit scale. Not quite like New York City. Furthermore I am proud of you both that you decided to use transit in L.A. it's not as frightening as travel guides tell you. Thanks for this video- it needs just a little tweeking with your facts.

Damon you are right UNLESS you are in Malibu, Ca. which in that case ocean is South. Just fyi ;)

Omg be going there frm phillipines here..first time to come to LA scarry tho i speak english

I did I drove with my mom me and my sister in a small nissan altama from Tulsa Oklahoma to LA Hollywood 20 hour drive

Girl the ocean in the LA OC area is on the south, because there's a south curve on the coast so the ocean is south-ish

Trust me on expensive wise Cali got nothing on New york.a freaking burger and fries with juice cost almost 30 bucks.and everyone there looks like they wanna punch you lol.new York is beautiful so I'd cali.but New York I'm sorry your not for me.tips: just look up at the sky scrapers not at people if your going to New York.

i literally watched all your videos and idk what to watch now :( ! CAN U PLEASE MAKE YOUR VIDEOS LONGER

Where are the best places to live in California with public transportation
