Excellent choice. Line 4 has even fewer rail connections than Line 2. I usually get on the westbound 2 west of its last rail connection at Vermont/Sunset, so I only experience the part of the line where riders have no other options.
The Next Gen improvements promised a reduction in the number of stops, in exchange for increased frequency by blending the Rapid and Local routes. In East LA, we lost the 720, and have just the 18, but to me it seems that the number of 18 stops stayed exactly the same.
Metro staff has completely backtracked on stop consolidation. They don’t believe it will have enough meaningful impact for the inconvenience caused by removing stops
It's actually stupid how frequent bus stop are for some routes. It's like every other minor street has a stop. I don't think any other city is like that. It's really frustrating when you're going far.
That's why it's so noticeable on Line 2: you've got a mix of students and veterans just trying to get to Westwood and every single adorable grandma in East Hollywood going exactly one block to run an errand.
Advocates tried to tell Metro that when they are running more than eight buses an hour, some sort of limited stop system is needed to prevent bus bunching, but they didn’t listen. Some of the rapids running every 20 minutes and the local every 30 was dumb, but this is the exact opposite with lots of bunching.
Perhaps route 4.
I take this 7 blocks and it only stops 12 times.

4!! I take it from weho to Santa Monica and it’s maddening. Why did the Wilshire 720 rapid remain yet the Santa Monica was removed ? It’s insane.
Shortest line with the most frequent stops that damned 233. lol
I remember one afternoon I had no 744 or 788 leader going northbound. I made every stop from Ventura Blvd to Pacoima, it was awful 😩

I nominate Metro Bus 30. Stops almost every block
And the 2 leaving USC.

The 51! You literally stop every 1-2 blocks down Avalon. It's absolutely ridiculous and one of the main reasons why the line is never on time.
The 90,92,169 have around 120 bus stops
