Yes, I agree there would be few areas in Melbourne similar to South
Central Los Angeles. But how much better is Beverley Hills than
Toorak?
In August 2000, returning about 8.30 pm from a train ride to San
Bernardino we caught the Red line subway, changed to the Blue line
light rail, changed to the Green line light rail to get to Aviation
Boulevard. Found a bus there that took us to a stop near our hotel
(Westin LAX).
The transfer from Blue to Green lines is interesting. The Green line
platform is extremely noisy with the freeway traffic on both sides.
We took the Blue/Green option rather than making a direct transit
from the Blue line to a bus (that stopped at the door of our hotel)
because we were told we would be taking our lives into our own hands
if we tried to make the connection after dark.
Are there be any evening tram/tram connections in Melbourne where the
same advice would be appropriate?
The areas served by the Blue and Green lines are rather tacky by
Melbourne standards. But we did not forget we were visiting the
Greatest Country in the World!
