So, I live in mid-city but just got a job across from the Disney Concert Hall...where could I park? Or could I bike there? Metro? Any ideas would be much appreciated

Purple line if you can get to it! But as far as I know there is no park and ride close to it. Are you closer to the expo line?

Don't know the bus # but there is a Rapid Transit bus that goes down Venice into DTLA. Another way is to walk to Western and cath a bus to Wilshire and Western and catch the purple line subway into DTLA.

Just do what all the other crumbbumbs do...get a handicap placard and park all day for free on Hill St. over the 101. It's a few blocks to walk anywhere, but hey, if the rest of the handicap people can do it, so can you!

If you have a bike, ride it to Wilshire / Western and take the Purple Line to the Civic Center stop. Seems like this is hands-down the fastest way to get to and from work in your situation. Probably even faster than driving (and certainly less expensive if you have to pay for your own parking).

You can use google map to find a bus route. There seems to be one that takes you there with just a short walk to Pico.

It appears that it would be faster to bike to work compared to using public transit after looking at Google Maps options.

Bike to the purple line (10 mins)
You arrived with time to spare, because you don't want to be late (4 mins)
Ride purple line to Civic Center (15 mins)
Walk to work (3 mins)

Total: 32 mins

I would suggest to bike to the Vermont/Wilshire station because trains run every 5 minutes during rush hour there because both Purple and Red lines serve that station and it will save some time and you don't have to bike through gang infested Westlake district.
