It’s cool, it’s iconic and it’s only $1 (50c if you have tap card) what more can you ask! Fun with kiddos too. Come early, most likely you’re have the whole cart to yourself!

Fun and historic. Good price and tickets are 1/2 price if you have a LA metro card. It doesn’t seem reliable at all though as I bought a round trip ticket, we went down the hill for lunch and after lunch it wasn’t operating any more. Walking up the hill sucked so I was pretty disappointed it wasn’t working. Pretty cool ride though.

A complete must if you’re visiting downtown L.A and exploring around! The fare to ride is $1, if get on the side right across the Grand Central Market you will have to wait to get all the way up to pay the ride. You can use your TAP card but if you pay cash you get this really cute souvenir ticket 🎫 (so if you want to keep a memory now you know) The ride up is quick and fun, and for a plan of visiting the market and later the Broad museum, this makes the way up the hill a million times better. Fun fact: this railway appears in one scene of LaLaLand!

This is a great deal for a short entertainment outing. The cost is only $1 each way. Once you've got to the top, it's a very beautiful area to look around. The people on the train were very pleasant and enjoyed the experience quite a bit. It doesn't take very long to ride, but it's well worth the price.

Diagonally across the intersection there is an open lot a well that i found was one of the cheapest and central places to park. Could walk to the last bookstore, the sky observatory / slide, Grand Central market (or something like that), Angels flight etc.

There's a nice little garden with a pond at the top and you have a view of DTLA skyline. You can also take the stairs if you don't want to pay for the railway or can't wait for the next car up.

Is it wheelchair accessible?

Bill Kiehl | Sep 5, 2019
Illy Duarte | Sep 5, 2019

https://angelsflight.org/frequent-asked-questions/ they have information of this on the website. "The railcars and their narrow aisles never were designed for wheeled vehicles. That said, provisions can be made for a wheelchair user to access the Railway from the Upper Station adjacent to the fully accessible, circa-1993 California Plaza (350 South Grand Avenue). The wheelchair user can ride down and up on the modified upper platform on Sinai. Just let us know about your visit as soon as possible. The Operator in the Station House will be happy to assist any wheelchair users."

Where does this tram take you to?

Carolina Ortiz | Sep 5, 2018
Mihály Dudás | Sep 5, 2018

It takes you up one block. It's more of an attraction than a way of transportation. Still worth checking it out as there are not many cities with similar historical sights.

Just saw on Bosch TV show (Amazon) why did they even bother building for such a short distance. You'd walk up faster than buying a ticket, finding a seat and waiting surely :-) so funny how so many people like myself looked up after the show

It's a very steep hill and in old, pedestrian Los Angeles, it was a way for people to get upnto Bunker Hill.
