3.00That the circuit Bleu on its last start early in the afternoon compared to the circuit rouge which ends later thus the return connection is no longer provided in the second part of the afternoon if you do not take care you are obliged to return on foot

The Allusive bus

1.00If you plan to hop on some place other than Hollywood blvd. Good luck! You could be waiting for a very long time. You would do better catching bus at a well known spot on Hollywood Boulevard. We Ubered to the comedy store because it was the closest location to us. There is no signage for bus pickup. We Huns around that area for about 20 mins and then walked to the closest bar because we all needed a/c and something cold. Never have been to LA would have been nice to more communication. At pick up stops. Never found bus. Complete waste of money for us. Pre paid on line. Just ended up uber to where we wanted to go.
Waste of time and money

2.00Wasn’t a very nice experience The app is not accurate at all. Headphones wasn’t functioning The blue loop service ends super early. Lots of time in the bus. Pickups are every 1 hour not every 30-45 minutes. Over all i don’t recommend it and it was waste of time and money.
