Oh wow! This is so beautiful.

Public transport here is so expensive – it takes a big chunk out of a low earning salary (this must change).

Some buses here are modern and in good condition others are just yuk. But things could be worse – at least we have a public transport system.

The photos are so clear and everything looks so clean.

PS If anybody reading this is thinking of coming to the World Cup (soccer) in 2010 – don’t worry – it’s being laid on for visitors – so we all win.

@Lance, Big Blue's slogan is Ride Blue Save Green, and it's so true.

@Lisa's Chaos, Many people think it's impossible to live in LA without a car, but it is totally doable. It takes a little more planning, but it can be done.

@David, Big Blue is great. A regular trip costs only $.75. With the price of gas going up, it's well worth it.

@dc, To stay in business these days, you have to diversify.

Cool! I find this really funny because I just watched a movie where the guy lived in LA and didn't have a car and everyone kept asking him how he lived in LA without one. I kept thinking about you and thought LA would be easy to maneuver through without a car? Lisa's Chaos’s last blog post..Macro Monday – My son loves me (?)

Very forward thinking by the Santa Monica Big Blue Bus Service.

They even offer the public the opportunity to work with them to help with design ideas for the new stops.

Great article.

I have to admit… I saw “Big Blue” and thought you were talking about IBM. Boy, they really are diversifying, aren’t they?
