The busses that run along Ventura Blvd from Studio City/Sherman Oaks etc, how long would that take in peak hour? Where would you want to go? Busses on Ventura are not a reliable transit method, and definitely would not fit the lifestyle you are attempting. For argument sake, to West Hollywood from Sherman Oaks probably 50-80 minutes,
PTravel,
You will note I was not answering a question about taxi drive time.
