Culver City Metro Station

Large uncovered parking lot, no extra charge, gets filled by about 8:40am on weekdays. Trying to park midday is hit or miss — when I try there are usually a few other cars going up and down the lanes all competing for a spot but nothing available. I’ve learned instead to go straight to the next station — La Cienaga/​Jefferson — where I always find parking in the multilevel covered lot. On Fridays, there’s a good chance of finding parking in afternoon.
There is also bike parking at no charge and, for pay, bike lockers which it seems no one uses.
Trains are pretty much always on time, and you can download the Go Metro app for real time departures.
Commuting from Culver metro for over a year has been pretty convenient. I have never had cause for safety concern, including when taking the last train back from downtown on weekends.

A great place to embark on public transportation.
It’s the first stop on the Expo line (currently as of July 2015) so it’s not full when you get on. But the train never really fills up anyway.
People getting on and off at this station are working professionals. Coming back from downtown though you will see homeless people or those living in more rough neighborhoods.
It’s about a 25 minute ride to downtown.
Park and ride with enough spots. No problems and plenty of parking before 9AM weekdays I noticed. Not sure if you can park overnight — according to «parkopedia dot com» you can, but I’m not sure.
Seems like a safe area and I don’t have to park that far from the actual platform, which is a staircase walk up.
Near downtown Culver City which is a cool new urban development with an Arclight movie theater, restaurants, coffee shops, Farmers Market on Tuesday evenings.

It’s better then nothing, and outdoor is nice with so much parking. It’s new but already so filthy, I can’t imagine how bad it will look in just a couple more years.

This place be legit. A true engineering work of brutal concrete design. It has oppressively thick concrete walls and arches complemented by dull colors in white light. It’s actually quite beautiful… If beauty was a rugged mountain man.
To continue about the lighting, it’s comfortably well-​lit. There are fluorescent lights on the high 50 foot ceilings and a plethora (2) of flavors on the ground (aimed at the sky and ground). It’s very warmly lit, important in cold weather. You know the atmosphere of comfort is too much when you find yourself gazing out into the dark parking lot and thinking to yourself: why would anyone want to leave?

The Culver City Station should be known as the «Gateway to West LA.»
Before 2012, the furthest west the Metro went (excluding the Green Line’s excursion to the outskirts of LAX but not to LAX,) was Hollywood which is debatable whether it’s part of the Westside or not. In 2012 though, the entire dynamic changed. Culver City has become a major transportation hub.
Certain cities, especially the one that is famous for a ton of reality shows and is west of Weho do not want metro. They should look at Culver City and see how the rent has gone up and how Culver City is becoming the new Silver Lake and is gentrifying extremely fast. Hmmm, correlation and causation seem to work here, the gentrifying started right after the Culver City station came along.
The Culver City Station is extremely convenient, it is right next to the Highway so if you are driving east on the 10, you can just get off at the Robertson Exit and you will be at the Culver City station in literally one minute.
So if you work in DTLA and go there by taking the 10, avoid the crazy rush hour traffic and take the Expo line to Downtown LA. I personally love the station. If I ever have to meet a friend in West LA or get to work, I tell people to meet me and/​or drop me off at the Culver City Station. It is the best and it helps that there are over 500 parking spots here.
