How to catch the Los Angeles hop‑on hop‑off bus

You can board at official stops across Hollywood, Downtown, Santa Monica, and along the coast. Many visitors start near Hollywood Boulevard or Santa Monica Pier, but you’re welcome to join at any marked stop on the route.

By Train

Los Angeles’ rail and metro lines are convenient for some starting points—Pico and 7th/Metro Center get you close to parts of Downtown, while the Expo Line reaches Santa Monica areas. From stations, follow local signage or a short ride to the nearest hop‑on stop.

By Car

Driving in L.A. is common; if you come by car, allow extra time for traffic and use public parking near major hubs like Hollywood or Santa Monica. After boarding, the bus saves you from searching for parking at each attraction.

By Bus

City buses and shuttles link many neighborhoods to main tourist hubs. Arrive at a central transfer point—such as Hollywood & Highland, Union Station, or Santa Monica—and you’ll find hop‑on stops nearby.

On Foot

If you’re staying nearby, walk to the closest official stop. In neighborhoods such as Hollywood, Downtown, and Santa Monica, many hotels and attractions sit within comfortable walking distance of boarding points.
