So after reading<\/a> about how even stubbornly car-driving Angelenos are finally making the switch to public transit, I thought that maybe I could attend my Friday 7 pm show at the Glasshouse<\/a> in Pomona by taking some sort of public transit out there. After all, it’s two blocks from the Pomona Transit Center\/Amtrak station.<\/p>\n

Ok, so how would this work? <\/p>\n

So that’s $12 + four hours of transit total for basically like a 2 ish hour show, plus there’s only one return bus per hour. Or I could just drive that and share the costs with my friend who’s going with me, and we could stop for tacos in East LA en route. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
