How is the safety-factor riding the LA Metro Red Line from Hollywood to Downtown by oneself at 10pm on a week?|177823

night? I hear the Red Line is unusually pristine for LA public transit and was thinking about using it when going to screenings and the like to avoid nighttime rush-hour traffic.

But is it a-Okay later in the evening for those used to the typical city junk?

I_m assuming you_re a guy from your name, but even so, it_s a bit sketchy that late at night. The economic situation is upping crime, there has been more car break-ins, hold ups, etc downtown where all the big buildings are, which is unusual. Chances are you_d be fine, but be aware of your surroundings. Also, depends on the Hollywood neighborhood. Around the Dome it_s been a bit funky lately, same with Highland. So the less walking the better.

I haven_t had much problem driving to screenings/premieres from downtown (Westwood, Universal, Hollywood) and being there on time. Maybe I_m more used to traffic. ugh = )

Yes, but just be normally prudent, as you would in any large city.

Yeah it should be fine. Probably a lot safer than driving.
