First of all this trip requires a chartered bus from Bakersfield into Los Angeles. The bus was prompt , clean and comfortable. The only thing to improve the trip would be friendlier drivers. They are not rude at all, just not friendly.
After the bus arrives at the LA station and you’ve retrieved your bags it’s a short walk to the hub of the station where you will find clean restrooms and several food choices. You will also find the “red caps” are waiting to assist you with your luggage and provide a speedy ride in their carts delivering you to the door of your waiting train.
Gratuity is always appreciated but not asked for. When you see the long uphill tunnel you will appreciate the free ride.
The train itself is well kept and very comfortable but hard for this old lady to go up and down the narrow stairs. My next trip I will request assistance and hopefully be on the lower level.
There is a limited snack bar for food purchases in case you want a nibble.
It is a relaxing way to travel especially when you get glimpses of the freeways.
I travel alone and have always felt safe.
Highly recommended
