Method: Metro Rapid

Line: 720 to 754

Route: Western/Wilshire to Vermont/Wilshire - transfer - Vermont/Wilshire to Vermont/Exposition

Details: Upon entry to 720 Rapid greeted by the nicest bus driver ever. Discuss merits of the drivers' union, Metro vs. Muni, and the simplicity of the $3 a day unlimited day pass. Driver relates Metro dropped Muni (Torrance, Culver City and other lines) as a means to decrease power of the drivers' union. Currently, Metro and Muni are operated as separate systems and it costs $.25 cents to transfer from one to the other. During conversation another rider inquired "You working on my lady?" "Lady" stated in reference to aforementioned nicest bus driver ever. Never know what's coming next when you ride the bus in LA!
