Summary: Los Angeles Metro Area Transit
Review: Excellent information on rail transit in the five county (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura) Los Angeles Metropolitan area. Includes the Metrolink commuter rail lines between Los Angeles and cities such as Oceanside, and the heavy rail Los Angeles Metro Rail subway system. I highly recommended this book for rail transit fans, like me.

Summary: A great book
Review: Mr. Simburger has written an outstanding book. I do want to correct a couple of points in the main review. the book does not cover all of Southern California rail. In particular, it has relatively little information about the Coaster [Oceanside- San Diego] or the San Diego Trolley. It also does not talk much about intercity Amtrak in the Inland Empire and the Mojave Desert. The bus maps are a little hard to read, and Mr. Simburger could use an editor to correct some typos but this is an outstanding well researched reference. I never travel anywhere on the Metrolink without reading up the relevant chapters in this book first.

Review: The free materials from the transportation companies may be fine for the casual traveler, but if you're serious about rail transportation in Southern California, this is an excellent reference.
