Are there plenty of taxis at Los Angeles Union Station?

Question

I know LA isn't that famous for taxis, but I am wondering if finding one at the train station or downtown LA hotels would be difficult. Thanks in advance!

Answer 3

I need a cab from Union Station to Santa Monica Days Inn, at Santa Monica Blvd. My train, the Coast Starlight, is scheduled to arrive at 10pm. The busses are not running at this late. So I am resigned to the reality that I will have to make the great financial sacrifice and cab it on over. Anyway ideas on how much $ I will be doling out?

Answer 4

Yes, there are always taxis lined up outside Union Station. Go to the west end, which is the older side, as that is closer to the Westin part of town.

Answer 5

Yes, a lot of standing outside, you can get on anytime.

There is one hotel near union station call metro plaza hotel ($79), several around downtown financial area.

Answer 6

no there will be some at the station
