  • Buy a great big raggerscar! You can maybe find one cheap at rent-a-wreck. They have good cars.

  • LA has TRIED so hard to promote public transportation but it will be a long while before people jump out of their cars and into metro and buses. Besides, LA is vast so it's much easier to access places by cars.

  • You must have a car to get around in L.A. There's absolutely no other way. It's just too big and spread out. Plus, one of the best parts of being in L.A. is just driving around and checking things out, whether it's driving thru Malibu and gawking at the monstrous houses or driving along Melrose and looking at all the pretty people, a car is a must.

    From my perspective...obviously you'd fly. United, Qantas and Air New Zealand fly Sydney - LA direct.
    More obvious. In LA you drive...sometimes very slowly on the freeway. And I don't think they shoot each other as often anymore..nahh just joking, but a little caution never hurt anyone.

  • Pick your favorite way to get here. If you fly into LAX, however, I don't suggest you attempt to drive directly from the airport. Try to get a shuttle out to a rental agency. Even locals avoid the airport traffic at all cost.
    You need a car. As the wise say, nobody walks in L.A.

  • As a local, you definitely need a car to see most of LA. If renting a car is not an option, book a tour to see all the touristy spots. LA is so spread out that public transportation is not the most viable option.

  • A car is almost a must !!! they have a new metro system but very limited and buses stop at 20-30 minute intervals on the average. taxis are a rarity and would cost a fortune as places are quite spread out. With a car, the freeway system is amazing though.

  • It is best to have a car to get around but if you don't the public bus system will do. There are buses and trains to major attractions. Check out Amusement Parks for transportation alternatives.

  • The only way to get around LA is by car. Let's carpool people. Try not to take separate cars. Traffic is bad enough....
