Traveling the streets of Los Angeles<\/a> can be tough. The high volume of cars, constant traffic jams, and sprawling urban area makes getting through the city difficult at times, but it doesn\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n

Rather than relying on public transportation, rideshare services, or your own car to navigate the streets, make a minibus the primary choice for mobility in such a large city.<\/p>\n

Check out the top reasons you should reserve a minibus below:<\/p>\n

1. Customize Your Route<\/h2>\n

Public transit routes in Los Angeles aren\u2019t as intuitive as you may think. Because train and bus routes typically only go in one direction and may pass your drop-off point, nearby destinations can take significant amounts of time to reach. When you reserve a minibus, you\u2019re able to plot your very own custom route.<\/p>\n

2. Reach Remote Locations<\/h2>\n

Los Angeles County contains a number of cities that aren\u2019t easily accessible by train or bus. While LA Metro\u00a0transit fare<\/a> is relatively inexpensive (day passes are $7, while weekly passes cost $25), many routes on the map don\u2019t take you exactly to the location you\u2019re interested in. Rail lines primarily work in a linear fashion, and bus routes are confined to specific schedules that may not match yours.<\/p>\n

With a reserved minibus, you\u2019re able to get to specific locations in and around Los Angeles at a faster pace than you would\u2019ve taking a public train or bus. For example, you can enjoy an easy, direct trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain from Los Angeles<\/a>, or to any wilderness location for a Los Angeles group hike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. Enjoy a Private Ride<\/h2>\n

When riding public transportation, you have no control over who you share your ride with. Minibuses provide a more personalized experience, as you\u2019re able to choose your passengers when booking. Avoid the discomfort and uncertainty you may face when riding public transportation by reserving your own private coach. You can use your private, secure minibus to travel to some fun places to socially distance in Los Angeles<\/a> during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Avoid Bus and Train stops<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Due to frequent stopping, public transit can be inconvenient when you\u2019re in a hurry. It\u2019s easy to fall behind schedule when your bus or train is stopping every mile to pick up passengers, which is why a private ride serves you better. When you reserve a minibus, you can choose how many stops your bus will make, as well as where they will be. Minimize travel time by selecting personalized pickup and drop off locations, and add passenger pickup points that are exclusive to your group.<\/p>\n

Another issue many public transit riders face is what\u2019s called the\u00a0First Mile, Last Mile Problem<\/strong>. This occurs when the walk to and from your home or office is so far from a transit stop that public transportation becomes an inconvenience. Many Angelenos face this problem when commuting to and from work, but a personalized shuttle can mitigate this problem by eliminating the journey between the two points.<\/p>\n

5. Reduce Road Traffic<\/h2>\n

As the second most populated city in the United States, Los Angeles is home to some of the worst traffic jams in the country. Because so many residents own cars, buses are often an overlooked solution for commuters in need of fast, reliable transportation. Groups headed to the same destination find private minibuses to be the perfect alternative to carpooling and rideshare services. Help reduce the number of vehicles on the road by booking a charter or minibus to pick up your classmates<\/a>, co-workers<\/a>, wedding guests<\/a>, teammates<\/a>, fellow church-goers<\/a>, and anyone else.<\/p>\n

6. Enjoy Exclusive Amenities<\/h2>\n

Public buses typically provide considerably fewer amenities than private buses. On the LA Metro, your amenities are limited to air conditioning, but with your own reserved coach, you\u2019re able to enjoy complimentary WiFi, plush seating, power outlets, lavatories, luggage bays, and more. These kind of premium amenities make a journey like a road trip on the Pacific Coast Highway<\/a> or a group day trip from Los Angeles<\/a> extra comfortable and stress-free. Make the most out of your trip, and enjoy the comfort and relaxation you deserve.<\/p>\n
