Parked my car at the train station and proceeded too head on downtown. Took oh i would estimate 45 minutes to reach my destination . You have to take the green line. transfer to the the blue line, too the red line.Got off at union station . Then you have to walk up the platform to the gold line . a day pass on the train makes this very easy . The funny thing about the trains in the Los Angeles area are. Growing up on the east coast you have to go through turn styles to enter the train station. In Los Angeles you initially have to purchase your ticket . After that you are on the honor system . Meaning you can randomly be spot checked by security officers ( Which I saw at my transfer point). Or by Los Angeles Sheriffs dept. So beware train stowaways. they definitely check your tickets from time to time.Anyway hopped on the gold line at union station. had too get off at the first stop , which is Chinatown.Interesting point when you are going between union station and Chinatown you have a great view of the twin towers. Which has housed many infamous criminals (or better said)defendants on trial. O.J Simpson, Robert Blake, the Mendendez brothers . OK enough said about the twin towers . However it's quite a sight.
