This summer I’ve decided to take up a challenge that not many dare to do in Los Angeles. I’m going to get moving in Los Angeles as green as possible! While most people consider it impossible to get moving in Los Angeles a\u00a0metropolis\u00a0city without a car, it is entirely possible to green your moving in Los Angeles by riding your bicycle, taking the bus, taking the train, and taking the subways! Take inspiration from NorthStar Moving\u00ae’s bio-diesel powered fleet<\/a>, and try going green and see where you can get moving in Los Angeles!<\/p>\n

Tips for Green Moving in Los Angeles<\/h2>\n\n

– Create a game plan.<\/strong> The Metro Trip Planner<\/a> is a great place to help you plot out how to get moving in Los Angeles to where you want to go. (It’s always good to plan your return time as well, as the buses and subways become less frequent as it gets later.)<\/p>\n

– Roll with the punches.<\/strong> There is a reason that Los Angeles is not known for its efficient transit systems, but it does get you moving in Los Angeles. Some buses arrive early or depart late. It’s a good idea to give yourself a five to ten minute cushion of time before or after the bus is scheduled to arrive.<\/p>\n

\"Metro<\/a>

– Not all buses are the same.<\/strong> \u00a0Rapid buses have fewer stops and move much quicker. Local buses stop a lot, but you might get closer to your destination. Decide which one will work better for moving in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

– Relax.<\/strong> The bus is a great time to relax and catch up on the latest news or finish that book. Don’t worry about when you’ll get to your destination.<\/p>\n

– Bike.<\/strong> If you don’t like to walk, you can take your bicycle with you on the bus and subway, and get moving in Los Angeles that way.<\/p>\n

Where to Get Moving in Los Angeles<\/h2>\n

Los Angeles has many great attractions that are entirely walkable. To help inspire you to get moving in Los Angeles green, here are a couple great destinations, you can walk around after taking the bus or subway.<\/p>\n
