Many of Santa Monica's tourist destinations are within easy walking distance of each other. The city Big Blue Bus system operates a number of lines that link not only places within the city, but also neighboring Brentwood, Westwood and Venice Beach, making Santa Monica one of the relatively few places in Los Angeles where one needn't drive to get around. Traffic is very heavy in the downtown area, and during rush hour and weekends the city's main arterial streets Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica Blvd, Lincoln Blvd are choked with cars.
♿Both the Big Blue Bus & Metro Rapid Red Bus fleets include pneumatic wheelchair ramps & chair anchor points. Most stations are level & paved & stops are pre-announced audio & visual. Fares for passengers with a disability are at 50%.
