The Los Angeles Subway

Los Angeles is the largest city in California; it is the second largest city in the United States. The subway of L.A., from the tourist's angle, is inconvenient. There are few sightseeing places that can be reached by subway directly. In most areas, you must use the bus. There are good directions to travel by car, but not for the public transportation system. Compared to this system in Los Angeles, the New York subway is better than Los Angeles. Most subway stations don’t have an information service center, and there is no staff in there, so it is very difficult to ask questions. Last, they don’t have a machine that checks the ticket, but staff will spot check the ticket on the subway.

洛杉磯是加州最大的城市，也是全美第二大城市。不過從觀光客的角度來看，洛杉磯的地鐵卻是不方便的。只有少部分的觀光景點可以直接搭乘地鐵抵達。大多數的地區都必須搭乘公車轉接。有很明確的指引告知你如何開車過去，可是卻沒有告知觀光客如何使用大眾運輸工具前往。相較之下，紐約的大眾運輸就比洛杉磯的好的多了。還有這邊的地鐵站大多數都沒有資訊服務中心，也沒有任何服務人員。所以當你有任何問題想詢問的時候，嘿嘿，抱歉，沒人可以問。最後，當你要搭乘地鐵或火車的時候，這邊並沒有任何機器來檢查票，不過會有服務人員在車上進行抽查啦。
