Maybe OC should take over LA fwys. We have issues but at least we do fwys right. LA is so busy paying welfare and homeless destroying small businesses and lining their pockets they can't even pull weeds or put in a new k rail! That 5 fwy is a shinning example of what's wrong with LA compared to OC...

There is no argument to be made here.

They are working on the 5 in that area and have been for years now.

i have to go to a event next Sat in LA so decided to take the metro, since people say LA is focusing on the rail more then the fwy, but nooo I can't because the last train back to OC leaves at 4:45! what??? Why don't they run the trains at night? This makes no sense... Does anyone know why this is?? Are they afraid of crime? They don't want to pay the wages? Someone enlighten me so I don't have to ponder this as I'm sitting in traffic on the 5 next wknd.

Just drive and if you're going to a place like LBC or some parts of LA at night to go to a party, club etc., drive a junker to park, they don't touch it usually unless it's a Honda. Metrolink is only for commuting. Junker cars have many uses.
