Home to Hollywood’s glamour, renowned business institutions and nearly four million residents, Los Angeles is one of the world’s most diverse cities. This sprawling metropolis is known as the center of the entertainment industry as well as a capital of education, science and art. Every year, thousands flock to this southern California paradise for its beautiful beaches, fabulous weather and endless possibilities.While the land is known for glitz and glamour, it’s almost as widely known for its horrendous freeway traffic. While the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority carries over a million passengers on its subway, railways and buses, most residents choose to travel via car, making Los Angeles the most car-populated area in the world. Millions of people travel on the area’s 27 freeways every day.
