For a low price door-to-door service to or from the airport you share the ride with a few other passengers. To go to the airport you can make your reservation on their website www.supershuttle.com or by calling 800 BLUE-VAN (258-3826).

    Subway and buses

    If you are on a budget it is easy getting around LA on public transportation. With a $ 6 daypass buses and the subway will get you almost everywhere. If you know where you are going you can get your route via http://www.socaltransport.org/.


    If you are not on a budget you should at least take the Red Line just to see the Hollywood & Vine station.

    Red Line






























    The subway Red Line takes you from Downtown all the way to North Hollywood. The Hollywood and Vine stop is worth a visit in it self. Artists and archticts worked toghetehr to evoke the history of Hollywoods film industry. From the subway platform to street level plaza you pass 240 hand painted art tiles on the walls, film reels decorate the ceiling and two original film projectors from the 1930s are on display. Once on the plaza level you are right on Hollywood & Vine, the most famous intersection in the world. Pantages Theater is right across the street and the new W Hotel and Shopping Center right next to the station. From Hollywood & Vine you can walk west on Hollywood Blvd all the way to Hollywood & Highland. The sidewalk is covered with Stars on both sides of the street all the way to H&H and beyond, and there are souvenir shops all along this route.
    If you prefer to stay on the Red Line, the next stop is Hollywood & Highland. This is where Kodak Theathre, Chinese Theather, Walk Of Fame, Madame Tousseau, Hollywood Wax Museum and Ripleys believe it or not is located. Hollywood & highland is also a great shopping center with stores like Guess, Lucky Brand and Victoria Secret, along with great restaurants and coffe shops.
    The next stop is Universal Studios and the last stop is North Hollywood.
