Los Angeles' main '''[http://www.greyhound.com Greyhound]''' terminal is in [[Los Angeles/Downtown|Downtown]] at 1716 East 7th Street, just off South Alameda Street near I-10, just southeast of the notorious Skid Row district. Unfortunately, the station is rather unpleasant and has limited access to connecting transit service. Though a growing residential population in the area has brought increased safety and services, this neighborhood remains largely underdeveloped and sketchy, so don't linger around here longer than you have to. Station staff often ask people who are here too long to show their tickets. From the Greyhound station, take a taxi or Metro bus 60 or 62 to connect to Downtown.
