Wait time for buses is...

1.00Wait time for buses is very long. If you’re not listening on the earphones you won’t know when you are at a stop or even what stop it is. We’ve done hop on-hop off all over the US and the world and this was the worst. Only bright spot is that we got to drive around cheaper than if we were using Uber.
Comfort and flexibility

4.00Comfortable and flexible in terms of the various stops you can make. And there are more than 15 stops including some on the beach.
Good to use to get around LA

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
