You don't need a car to get around Los Angeles, despite what you may have heard. Los Angeles' public transit system, Metro, is the second largest in the nation with four rail lines and over 200 bus lines that can take you just about anywhere in Los Angeles county. The introduction of the new Metro Gold line in Pasadena means it has never been easier for the Caltech community to travel around Los Angeles using public transit.
The information in the Transit Guide was compiled by Ameerah Chowdhury ('04) for the benefit of the Caltech Community. You may download this guide as a pdf if you wish.
