Traveler advice
Getting around
Transit - Universal, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Downtown LA
Walk to Chandler & Laurel Canyon. Take Orange Line to Noho transit center (1 stop). Switch to Red Line subway (no additional charge). 1st stop is Universal. 2nd stop is Hollywood Walk of Fame. Continues thru Koreatown and ends at Union Station downtown.
Getting around
Dash Buses
Dash buses are 50 cents and run in loops around various neighborhoods in LA. If you are going to Griffith Park & Observatory, I suggest parking near the Greek Theater and taking the Dash Bus up to Griffith Observatory.
