<p>I currently live near Wilshire and Vermont and found out that there is a Metro Express Bus that goes down Wilshire Blvd to Westwood Village in 30 minutes. Is this do-able??? I would be saving nearly $300 per month just doing this and not living near campus. That's $7,200 savings over two years that I wouldn't have to borrow.</p>
<p>I havent taken the bus to UCLA yet, but I used to take the metro rapid from my house to my CC in Pasadena and its pretty do able. I’d say for that kind of saving(and gas too) doo it!</p>
<p>You’re talking about the 720/920 Rapid red bus right? Yeah it does take about 30 minutes from Ktown to Westwood/Wilshire taking that bus. Add in 10-15 minutes to take a Big Blue Bus up to the campus. </p>
<p>It’s doable if you want to save money.</p>
<p>I used to live off wilshire/western. the 720 takes a while, but the 920 is the express bus. If i transfer to UCLA (I’m down in San Diego now), that’s what I’d do!</p>
<p>Yeah, taking the rapid from wilshire/vermont to UCLA will take a good twenty minutes or so. But it’s gonna be a btch.</p>
<p>That’s really going to be hell. ): Good luckkk.</p>
<p>By b*tch, they mean you’ll most likely by standing for at least 3/4ths of the duration of the bus trip and possibly heckled by creepy bus-goers. </p>
<p>But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.</p>
<p>I take the 720 to school every Tues/Thurs. <em>sigh</em></p>
