wild parcel, Long Beach

map of a section of Long Beach where you can see the ghost of an old diagonal rail right of way in a series of parks and orphan diagonal streets

“I live my life without a transit schedule, and I like it.”

That’s a great, succinct statement about the benefits of frequent service.
