Any other ideas for transportation from Santa Monica, CA to Union Stat

[Gingee]

I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas of transportation from Santa Monica, CA to Union Station besides:

1. Super shuttle $17 x 2 people = $35 then shuttle from LAX to Union Station for $14 total.

2. Taxi cab direct for $40 to $50.

3. Bus (no way - too big of suitcases).

Those are probably our only options but I thought I would ask if anyone else has any ideas?

We booked this train Southwest Chief on February 23rd. Called yesterday to switch to a day later and already the "lower buckets" are filled. It will cost the two of us $107 more. This is for June 1rst. Wow. Must be a busy train.

I live Downtown and may be able to drive you. PM me-- let's talk.

Towncar -- probably more expensive than a cab.

Bus may not be entirely out of the question if you can go midday when they aren't busy. Check out the Big Blue Bus express schedules between SM and downtown LA

No other ideas. I stayed in Santa Monica last year and took cabs to/from LAUS.

Um, yes, 4/3 are busy. Tuesday night, I turned over 175 coach passengers (in 3 coaches) at the first crew change point, and there were only about 3 sleepers left. When we picked up our train this morning, I took 220+ coach passengers (also in 3 coaches) for the final 7 stations.

Not busy by NEC standards, but certainly enough to keep me busy!

Travel light!

pack light and take the bus, otherwise i wouldn't complain about cost. packing light will also serve you well once you arrive at your destination.
