A shuttle with a scenic touch

I loved your article on the Saturday/Sunday shuttle service in the Santa Monica Mountains [“Beachgoers, Hikers Can Get on Board,” March 1].

I drive from Woodland Hills to park at Paramount Ranch. I catch the shuttle there, ride to Malibu, get off and have lunch at Starbucks. An hour later I catch the shuttle again and continue the ride to Corral Canyon, Solstice Canyon, Zuma Beach, Point Dume, Backbone Trailhead, Peter Strauss Ranch, and back to my car at Paramount Ranch. It’s a relief to be traveling in this bus. It seats a passenger much higher than a car does, and the views are great.

It would be even nicer if I could catch a Metro bus in Woodland Hills and ride to Paramount Ranch. I would be able to brag I did not use my car that day.
