If you know, you know.
There is Metro and Big Blue Bus. Are there more type of buses?
Are tickets stage based (the further you go, the more expensive the ticket) or are they one price per trip?

Is a TAP card worth getting or is cash the way to go?
Can I pay for two people with one TAP card?

I looked around on Reddit and Google and a bunch of obscure forums but info is either outdated or confusing with people providing completely contradictory information.

>public transport in LA

Just rent a car if you're visiting.
I would love to, but I'd need to rent a driver too. I only got provisional license.

I know. No takes buses anywhere, nevermind walking.
I wonder how easy it is to see that I am a tourist.
"You see that guy? Yeah, he walks everywhere! Fucking foreigner."

Two years ago, A friend of mine and I did the most American thing and drove to a Cheesecake Factory that was right across the road from where we were staying. Paid for parking and then the restaurant told us that they are full.
We weren't even mad.

Eh, if I lived in a city like SF I'd probably end up taking a bus, the metro, or just walking. Trying to find parking there is a nightmare and it would be better to just not even deal with that.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Get a transit app and check?
See, I do have a great app, but it doesn't answer the questions I asked in the OP.
