I guess you haven't lived in SoCal very long to not know Grand Central Market or Angel's Flight. Things have improved significantly on LA Metro over the last 10 months. They've added transit ambassadors, more security guards, and cleaning crews. It's made a huge difference as you, yourself, noticed. More and more people are using LA Metro because it's now a much better experience compared to the 3 years during Covid. Much less homeless people in DTLA, too, compared to 2022. There is a ton of stuff to see that is easily accessible via the LA Metro. Chinatown, Little Tokyo, Bunker Hill, Exposition Park, Historic Broadway, Central Public Library, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Universal Studios, etc.

LA Metro is great, the only downside is that you have to wait some time I don't understand why it has a bed reputation, the system is very good and well designed, it's also really cheap to get around one of the largest cities in the world 1.75 dollars per 2 hours and 5 dollars maximum a day

Dude, where did you park? That's not just down the street. That's a very industrial area of DTLA. I would never park in that area. I don't know of anyone who does that. You should have just taken the E or A line into DTLA. It seems you were driving into DTLA from the Eastside of the city. Next time, drive to one of the park and ride stations. I usually use the Atlantic station on the E line. No need to drive all the way into DTLA. Parking is only $2 for the day. And, if you're closer to the SGV, I'm sure there are park and ride stations in that area, too.

The LA Metro is much better today. It's been improving over the last year. They've hired more security guards, cleaning crews, and transit ambassadors. You need to purchase a TAP card that costs $2 and add money to it. Last year, LA Metro switched to a capped fare system. It will cost you a maximum of $5 a day or $18 per week. The cost is $1.75 for a one-way ride with a 2 hour window of free transfers. Once you spend $5 in a day or $18 in a week, all your additional rides are free whether you use the light rail lines, subway lines, or bus lines. It's all one system referred to as the LA Metro. It's a little different from cities like NYC, Paris, or London, where Metro means subway lines only. Have a good time in LA. Don't be afraid to explore, but also be smart and informed.

The reason the people who run the station finally finally cracked down on the homeless was a massive bedbug flea and lice infestation. And those bugs jumped on the clothes of the employees and traveled home with the employees.So finally they put up those barriers around the seats. It’s a very functional necessity a hundreds of thousands of people use it every day. You can even get direct buses to airports in Bakersfield and Orange County there.
