Are there any tips/tricks for moving between LAX and the City Bus Center?
The bus service for me getting to/from LAX is actually not bad, but the shuttle bus service to the bus stop is awful. Low frequency and sporadic buses. Once the APM comes online this problem goes away but that is still some ways out.

I've tried taking the bus from the Metro C stop, but that is not faster as it's backtracking for me, and the bus moves quite slowly between the bus center and C line stop, even though the C line shuttles are 3x+ more frequent.
