If you’re flying through LAX and taking Metro, the C and K Lines stop at LAX/Metro Transit Center. From there, take the free Metro Connector Shuttle from bays 1 or 2 to your terminal. Going the other way, look for the pink LAX Shuttle sign on the lower arrivals level and board the Metro Connector Shuttle.

LAX lists shuttle hours as 4 a.m. to 1 a.m. daily, with buses about every 10 minutes on average. The airport’s SkyLink people mover is still in testing and certification as of Nov. 7. For a future trip, check the airport’s page for any opening announcement.

If you are planning to use Muni buses, streetcars or Metro in San Francisco, SFMTA is gradually retiring the MuniMobile ticketing app. Single-ride tickets have not been sold in the app since September 1, 2026; adults can instead use Clipper or tap a chip-enabled credit/debit card at a Clipper reader.

Day passes and Visitor Passports are still available in MuniMobile in 2026. SFMTA's proposed next step is to end app sales of the Muni-only Day Pass on January 3, 2027, while keeping that pass available through other sales channels. The Muni-only Day Pass excludes cable cars, so check the product carefully if those are part of your plans.

I am super excited to attend my first F1 race in person this weekend at COTA! Since it’s my first time, I am looking for tips to make the most of the race weekend and my trip to Austin.

I found these two helpful articles with some useful information:

Things to Do Off the Track covers activities and places to explore around Austin.

F1 Guide to Visiting COTA offers practical tips for visiting the circuit.

I will arrive on Friday and stay until Thursday, so I will have plenty of time to explore Austin after Sunday's race.

For those who have attended the USGP or visited Austin before, what would you recommend? I would love tips on getting around the track, finding good local food, and discovering interesting places around the city. Anything that could make the trip more enjoyable would be appreciated!
