Traffic in LA is an all day (and all night) thing. But, like anywhere else, you can choose to live close to work -- or not.

The light rail is actually a huge success story in LA right now.

I only took Uber mostly but would also commute from downtown to Beverly Hills. I never once got stuck in traffic but we always left after 10am.

Also it depends on which way you are going. The 405 north of Sunset is a disaster if you (in general) are going from West LA to the Valley after work but if you travel the opposite ways, traffic is generally fine...

Not to worry. In just 25 more years, the metro system will go almost all the way to the airport.
