For late nights (past 1 am), you really have to have cab fare. Trying to bus it at that time or later really sucks all the fun out of going out in the first place. But I've actually figured out that cabbing it -- even if I do it once a week (and assuming I'm not over in Silver Lake, in which case I'd carpool or do Flexcar) -- is still cheaper than owning a car. Plus, no one has to drink and drive! :) I totally agree with the buses at night conundrum, which I’ve documented a few times. For late nights (past 1 am), you really have to have cab fare.

For the subway, I have the option of walking up to Beverly and Vermont to go into hollywood, or down to Wilshire and Western to go into downtown. I think taking the bus up Western is a bit quicker into Hollywood. Although I like the alure of taking the metro. It's too bad the metro stops running at midnight. But the problem is the busses at night. They dont run that often, so coming home at 2am from Hollywood on the bus can prove to be a pain. At that hour, if you miss the bus, it's an hr before the next one comes. Late at night, the bus really isn't an option in my mind. I live in K-town and I try and take the bus when I can.
