>"but you gotta get over that perception of sprawl to realize how great LA is for multi-modal transport"
multi-modal transport? You mean the bus? The bus in LA is a joke. Nobody wants to take the bus in LA - it takes way to long to get anywhere. The metro is notable in how little area it covesr. I think this map illustrates this well:
So what does that leave? Cars. You yourself even mentioned ""Lyft and renting a car." Owning a car, renting a car and calling a car are all car-centric modes of transport.
And LA doesn't have a perception of sprawl it is actually sprawl.
