That’s where National Charter Bus can help!

1. What is Los Angeles traffic like?
LA is notorious for its traffic—and for a good reason. According to the TomTom Traffic Index, Los Angeles is one of the most congested cities in the country—second only to New York City. Most traffic is condensed to the Downtown area and major freeways such as the 405, I-10 East, and I-5. While traffic is almost always gridlocked in Los Angeles, avoiding the standard rush hour times (especially evenings between 2 pm and 6 pm) can save your travel group time and frustration between destinations.
2. Where can I park a charter bus in Los Angeles?
Since Los Angeles is mostly known for its wide, sprawling urbanscape, finding a parking lot that can accommodate an oversized vehicle is relatively easy. Most tourist attractions like the Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign have bus-friendly parking nearby, as well as designated charter bus loading and staging zones. For more detailed information, check out our guide to parking a charter bus in Los Angeles.
3. Where can my charter bus pick up and drop off my group at LAX?
Every LAX terminal offers designated loading zones for oversized vehicles such as sprinter vans, minibuses, and charter bus rentals. If your group is flying into LAX, your bus driver can wait for you in the cell phone lot located on 96th street, in front of the economy parking lot.
4. What are Los Angeles’s public transit options?
Los Angeles offers two main modes of public transportation: LA Metro trains and public buses. A TAP card gives riders access to the city’s underground subway system, above-ground light rail, and the 200 bus routes throughout the metroplex. The standard fare is $1.75 and provides 2 hours of unlimited transfers in one direction.
5. What’s the weather like in Los Angeles?
Like most of Southern California, Los Angeles is hot nearly all year. Those visiting the city in winter can expect Fahrenheit temperatures of 60 to 70 degrees, while summer visitors should prepare for 80-degree averages with higher heat indexes due to the arid climate.
There’s a reason LA sees more than 4.3 million visitors every year: there is so much to see and experience here (even if you aren’t a movie buff)! So much so, that we don’t blame you if you feel overwhelmed while mapping out your Los Angeles group itinerary.
Here are some suggestions of some bus-friendly locations our LA travel groups have frequented in the past to help you get started!
