@Wanting, Suggestion: Start at the station closest to you & take it to the Culver City Station, should be safe during the day. Then when you're done, ride to the station you started at/your car is at, thus avoiding any night-time expo lines concerns? If you are traveling with others & not dressed like a ho, it should be fine. If dressed like a ho, then bring a sweater to cover up ;) Best Wishes
