Getting from the Los Angeles Amtrak station to somewhere near Santa Monica with public transportation?

Question

How would someone get from the Amtrak station to Santa Monica, or close-by.... is there a metro that stops on the westside anywhere? thanks

Answer 1

Metro rail unfortunately doesn't go to the westside.  But there are plenty of buses, both MTA and Big Blue Bus.  Check mta.net for the routes.

Answer 2

oh this one is easy right out side union station *across the street from Uniion station )at Alamdea and Los Angeles

you can take the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus line 10 for

$1.75 (or if you are planing to return the same day a day pass for

$3.50 will help)

direct to the Westside and Santa Monica

buses run about every half hour 7 days a week
