Transcript

Hey guys, currently leaving work. It is 6:45. Downtown LA. Let's get the metro home from DTLA together. We're at 7th Street Metro, going down. Tap in! On the train. And off so quick! Arrived at Santa Monica / Vermont! No car necessary. Hey everyone, we made it. We made it to Santa Monica and I'm not now just walking and public transport is the way to go instead of all of these people in their cars. You don't always need a car!
