To use the metro you need to buy a TAP card, which costs around 1 to 2 dollars (depending on where you buy it), and which can be topped up as many times as you want. The frequency of trains is approximately between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the time. The Los Angeles Metro Rail runs approximately from 4:30 am to 1:30 am, although the schedule varies depending on the line and day of the week.


While the metro isn't always a good option to visit the main tourist attractions, it is a useful and quick way to make long-distance journeys.
