I’ve been exploring a bit on my side of town.

#1 Washington line takes you to the beach, past a ton of shopping, up to Trader Joes and downtown Culver City, the farmers market there…

We will not be using our car very much for the next few months. About the only thing I canNOT use the bus for is to get Tiki to the dog park down in Venice.

Maybe I'll see you on the #6 line. My shrink's office is on Sepulveda -- I could switch from the Super 7 to the 6!<BR/><BR/>But could the transfers be any more complicated? A sampling of what I'll need to remember from the Culver City bus site:<BR/><BR/><I>We accept MTA tokens but not MTA bus passes. Passengers must pay additional to receive an Inter-Agency Transfer. We DO NOT accept Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus tokens. When transferring to MTA, Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus, Torrance Transit or LADOT, you must purchase an Inter-Agency transfer. Inter-Agency transfers are not good for transferring from one Culver CityBus to another.</I><BR/><BR/>Geez. Well, one line at a time :) Yey! Maybe I’ll see you on the #6 line. My shrink’s office is on Sepulveda — I could switch from the Super 7 to the 6!
