Go Metro Home
The ride back was another story. The train was crowded and getting into Pershing Square was interesting. Lots of people walking around. More hustle and bustle than I’m used to in Downtown LA. I almost got lost because I didn’t know where my bus was suppose to pick me up. It worked out fine since I got on a bus with open seats. Eventually along the trip the bus got crowded to a point that the bus driver denied entry for some people at a stop. It gave me the opportunity to explore the carpool lane heading East into SGV. It’s a hidden lane which starts near the Union Station. The lane runs in seclusion from the way we’re used to seeing. The Cal State LA stop leaves you at the bottom of a bridge where you either take the elevator up or take like 10 flights of stairs so that you can cross over to the campus. My bike was still securely locked up. I got home with my back soaked in sweat. It was cool but not cool enough to be wearing a jacket.
I’m definitely going to try to commute this way as much as I can. It was stress free and fun. I felt like I did something to help our over congested freeways and took another car off the road.
