Driving: The Classic California Cruisin' Experience

Pro tip: Avoid rush hour like the plague. Trust me, you don't want to be stuck in traffic with people who are clearly one step away from a full-blown road rage meltdown.

Catching a Ride: Trains and Buses for the Budget-Conscious
If you're looking to save some cash and avoid the stress of driving, public transportation is your friend. Amtrak offers a comfortable and scenic train ride, perfect for people-watching and enjoying the views. Buses are another option, but let's just say they're not exactly known for their luxury.
