[Cabs-talk] Traveling Independently in Southern California

[Miso Kwak via Cabs-talk]

Thank you for your feedback.
I want to be clear that I do believe in the paratransit service and I 
have been using it.
However, I am frustrated with their system (mostly administrative and 
customer service aspects).
This particular issue I am currently going through is partially my 
fault and It's definitely a learning experience.
I was just wondering if it would be possible to live without it. I will 
be fine with dealing with the paratransit office a few days later 
though. I clearly see how it's more efficient than public 
transportation especially in the inland and orange county area.
Best,
Miso

Hello Miso- Yes, it is doable to travel  independently in the Los 
Angeles
area. Paratransit is an option however public transportation is doable. 
Plan
your routes, look at the time it would take on public transportation vs.
paratransit and go from there. If you need assistance with this process,
please let me know.
Tina

Hello everyone,
This is a rather random question, but I would like to know...
Do you think Southern California (mainly Los Angeles and a bit of inland
area and Orange County area) is accessible for blind travelers mostly 
using
public transportation?
Is it something doable and reliable ?
Or is using Access Services necessary for efficiency?
Would it be possible to independently (with safety and efficiency) 
travel
without riding the Access?
