Taking a series of trains, buses and fun facts about them
-
Where am I going? That’s a good question.
London, actually. But I’m taking a series of trains (and later planes. Eventually)
Planes, trains, any automobiles?

@nickspacek I’ve had good luck with Brondell GoSpa and Redsack
@skinnylatte @nickspacek I use a very similar one! And I put a tiny bit of liquid soap on some toilet paper to get even cleaner, in between rinses with the bidet.
This is my one. I like the angled neck!

4. Union station to Downtown LA on the LA Metro D line
Fun fact: LA metro was just selling T-shirts with the slogan ‘Ride the D’. It was sold out very quickly
EDIT: adding prices as a record. This was $1.75

@skinnylatte Are they going to get Wet Leg to do the promos for the slogan?

@skinnylatte Was the Coast Starlight on time? Thinking about a trip to L.A. by train at some point.

@SVChucko surprisingly the last two times I took it, it was on time.
The time before that (during the winter with lots of issues), delayed by 8h

@skinnylatte We took a trip from the Bay to central Pennsylvania by train in November. Out of 8 trains, the very first (Capitol Corridor) was the better part of a hour late, but we met family in Sacramento, so the timing wasn't critical. Only one other train was more than a few minutes late. But that one, the Floridian, was almost 4 hours late for what was supposed to be a midnight departure. That was not a fun night at the Pittsburgh Amtrak station.
The California Zephyr was great in both directions.

@skinnylatte huh, I’ve done Amtrak Thruway bus to Emeryville; transfer at Richmond; and bike/walk from Lake Merritt BART to Jack London station; but never this. What do you like about this option?
@scott I don’t like going to soma / fidi in the early morning, I much prefer BART straight from civic center
This shuttle is very frequent and reliable

@skinnylatte and I guess the Coast Starlight (unlike the Capitol Corridor and Gold Runner nee San Joaquins) doesn't stop in Richmond. question answered. cool glad that works for you!

@skinnylatte I do love the Coast Starlight!

@skinnylatte Disappointed you're not taking a subterranean train across the Bering strait then the Transsiberian.

5. Bus no 4 from downtown LA to the fashion district
This was $1.75
Fun fact: if you take another bus or train within 2 hours on LA metro, the transfer is free. So going there and coming back can cost just $1.75

@skinnylatte buses are great! Ours has been 1$ for a long time.

@skinnylatte we used to live just a block from there! You are (or were) conveniently close to Sonoratown (delicious flour tortilla tacos)

@samantha yup, am a big fan. One of the first spots I tried here back in the day

@skinnylatte god I miss good tacos. There's not much of a Mexican population in Vancouver, and thus also a sad lack of good tacos. I wonder if tacos are the best thing about America.
