Transportation in Los Angeles
If you’re arriving at LAX, we’re located a 25-minute drive from the airport without traffic. It’s common to use a ridesharing app like Uber or Lyft in Los Angeles. Follow the signs for the ridesharing pickup location outside of the baggage claim.
Alternatively, there is a bus stop at Sepulveda / Century (a 7-minute walk from the airport) that will take around 1.5 hours to reach Anyplace Select.
In general, Los Angeles is known to have heavy traffic since many locals rely on their cars, so weave that into your schedule when getting around. You can also take a look at the rail and bus schedules to see if it’s a fit for where you’re headed. If you’re exploring a smaller area, there are a number of scooters located around the city that you can rent with the Lime or Bird app.
