Cheap Way to the Getty

The Getty Museum has always been free, but they've charged for parking. The fee is going up from $10 to $15 shortly, which may make you consider other ways to get up the hill. The Big Blue Bus, which runs in Santa Monica and West L.A. can take you up there for 50 cents each on Line 14. The bus runs regularly each day at 15- to 30-minute intervals and you'll just need a place to park near the bus stop, which you're likely to pay for but it won't be $15.
