The Bus is a source of transportation throughout the city. A type of physical access from different neighborhoods. This week I rode the Rapid 6 Green line from Ackerman turnaround to Braddock Ave in Culver city. My friends and I left campus at 6pm meaning it was rush hour on the streets. The bus took about 20 minutes to leave Westwood. The busiest intersections were Westwood Blvd./Wilshire Ave. and getting onto Sepulveda Blvd. The 7 mile trip took approximately 45 minutes.
When we got on the bus it was about half full. Most of the seats open were towards the back. The people on the bus looked like they had just gotten off work because of the certain clothes they were wearing and some carrying lunch boxes. There was a good amount of students, most likely leaving school and heading home.
The ride was 0.50 cents one way for a student, so in total the trip was 1 dollar for 14 miles. On a car the estimated time is 15 minutes, making the Bus slower than a car but faster than a walk. It gives people without mobile transportation a way to transport themselves quicker and be more efficient with time spent if one had no transportation.
