Due to the lack of bike racks at Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, one of the few ways to properly secure a bicycle is to lock it to the "No Parking" sign.

Metrolink is set up to take two bikes on each car. Your Metrolink ticket is also good on the Gold and Red lines, so you can get from Santa Ana to Pasadena for $4.00 on the weekend.

Why Did They Bother?


Why Did They Bother?

Metro published a new schedule for the 130 line in December. At the time I noted that it looked more realistic than the previous schedule and expressed hope that the drivers could actually keep the schedule. They haven't. They haven't even come close. There is supposed to be an eight minute layover at Cerritos before the OCTA 30 leaves. This is the second week in a row that I missed the 30 because the 130 was late. If the buses can't keep the schedule, why does Metro bother publishing it?
