Being
in Los Angeles will surely be one of your most unforgettable travels, whether
it’s for business or pleasure. Aside from Hollywood, Los Angeles also houses
what’s said to be "happiest place in the world", which is Disneyland.
But, travelling in this city for the first time could be difficult especially
when it comes to directions and transportation. It is always best to settle not
just with your bookings for your flight and hotel accommodations, but it is also
important to consider transportation once you reach the city in advance.
Here
are some of the means of transportation available for you once you reach the
city:
LAX Shuttle Service
This
mode of transportation requires you to book in advance. Many transportation
companies in Los Angeles offer this service, which means you have the option to
choose which one you want to avail of. That way, you will be able to compare
prices and the difference between the services they offer.
You
also have to consider the number of persons you are going to be with in your
travel as well as the size of the vehicle you want. You must let your
transportation provider know what your plans are so they will be able to
prepare and so that it would result in less hassle for both parties. You must
let them know the destinations that you are planning to reach since they do
have different arrangements per destination.
Public
Transportation
If
you want to save on transportation, Los Angeles also has several public
vehicles. To get to Hollywood, you may choose to ride the LAX Fly Away Shuttle
to Union Station. This means of transportation is cheaper, but, requires some
patience. There are lots of people who would also prefer to ride this, so
expect a very long line to get to the bus. But on the brighter side, it will
only cost you about $7.
Taxi Cab
If
you can't afford falling in line and waiting for minutes (or even hours), taxi
cab is one of the best options for you. But, you also have to prepare pretty
much a big amount for it. It will cost you around $70-$80 for the whole trip.
That is usually inclusive of the tip. One advantage that it can give you is
that the directions will be easier since drivers are already familiar to the
place.
Town Car Service
This
is another pricey way for you to have the most convenient and easiest mode of transportation.
This will cost you around $80-$95. There are also a number of companies you can
compare for this. One of the biggest advantages of this is that you will have
your personal driver who will meet and greet you once you arrive at the
airport. This is known to be the most comfortable and the safest transportation
but again, it is quite pricey.
