>>1029109This county in the state of California is made up of 34 different cities. The OCTA, which is the transportation agency for the County of Orange, is shit.
Traffic is very bad, and OCTA is just widening freeways in the southern half of the county where the rich white people are, and not making the necessary improvements in the northern half that is denser (still an urban sprawl) and on the border of Los Angeles. See pic related for freeway congestion in the northern half of Orange County. Widening freeways can only do so much without any form of mass transit.
There is no light rail, and the rail services offered are by Amtrak and Metrolink, which do not own the rail lines they operate on and thus only offer service at specific times of the day only. You cannot base your work schedule off a consistent Amtrak/Metrolink service because they can change.
As the county is built around cars, traffic is getting worse and worse. They built toll roads, but they hardly solve anything. NIMBY's do not want mass transit or urban density in their cities. This is especially true for the coastal cities that do not want to bring "lower class people" in.
