take the coaster! (its a train that goes up and down the coast)
its soo easy and cheap, if you have AAA you can get a discount too, i used to take it from san diego to fullerton all the time. it cost me $11.

Hitchhiking is no longer a viable option. Motorists view all hitchhikers as either serial killers or fags. You wouldn't want people to hang either one of those labels on you.
I'm sure there is a way to get there by bus, but I wouldn't know. I'm so paranoid that I keep an extra car fueled up and insured sitting in my driveway just in case.
Maybe you could get a friend to take you, or give your mom a call and tell her how much you miss spending more time with her and wouldn't it be great if the two of you could bond while she drives you to Irvine tomorrow.

hehe thanx...I found a website http://www.scag.ca.gov/transit/ ...it'll cost me only 11.60...heck yes.
my mom doesn't care about me, so screw her.
that web site told me to go to metrolink, and ride the train for 42 minutes for 8 bucks. So I have to pay a dollar per seven minutes riding the train.
as I heard in some commercial...life sucks without car

<< Yawp. I don't know why the LA area never put in a really good public transit system ... >>
Rapid expansion, rich people with cars = no public transportation.
Damn. Just tried that out for fun... and compared with MapQuest results.
From 6th/Broadway in LA to La Palma/Knott in Buena Park:
Public transportation: 120 mins, $4.35
Automobile: 31 mins (21 miles), $1.00 in gas + cost of car + cost of maintenance
Here in Montreal public transit is pretty good in the downtown and surrounding areas, but turns to crap the farther away from the center you get. I used to work at this warehouse in the west island and it'd take me nearly 2 hours (including a 15-min walk over a highway overpass.). Cost? I could buy unlimited monthly passes for $50 CDN, so the cost per trip (say 42/month?) was around $1.19 CDN. Regular passes were $2.00 CDN at the time.
According to Mapquest the same trip is around 25 minutes and just about 12 miles. If I had a used car for $3000 and used it for 2 years, that works around to $4 per trip (actually cheaper since I'm sure I'd use the car for other stuff, too). So say $3 per trip. Since it gets me there 3x faster, I say its worth the cost. If I had a more expensive car, I'd keep it longer so that doesn't make a diff.
If cities want congestion to end, they have to make more attractive public transport available. Those PRT systems sound cool in theory but are probably quite expensive to build (then again, so was the road system). Automated highways seem like they'll just increase traffic (in the long run, congestion returns) (as would the alternative of doubling highway lanes). Ah.. let's face it, we're screwed either way
