Air conditioning, smooth acceleration and breaking, and no SigAlerts make riding the Blue Line and Green Line a breeze. Each rail car has 76 seats. Seniors and the disabled will find that elevators, flat platforms, ramps, and train floors level with platforms make Blue Line and Green Line trains easy to board. On-board intercoms and uniformed police on trains give riders a feeling of security. There are emergency phones at each station to directly contact transit police, who also patrol the stations and parking lots.
Bikes are in . . .
Because Lakewood's terrain is fairly flat, it's easier to pedal to shopping, parks or service destinations which are grouped at nearby major intersections. Lakewood's 38 miles of bike lanes and paths make it easy to link to the Los Angeles and Orange County bike systems. It's a great resource for both recreational and commuter biking where bikers can get help with repairs, facilities for bike storage, and trip planning information. MTA offers free permits to take bikes on Blue Line, Green Line, and Red Line trains to stretch jaunts to greater distances. When you drive alone to work, you foot the entire bill.
