Decongesting the West Side

I share a car with my sister (until May) and she works downtown and I go to school downtown so it works out in the morning. When it doesn't work out however is at the end of the day. She's officially entered her "busy season" at work, which means she's in the office from 8AM until about 12AM every day (including weekends ... although the hours are a little better on the weekends). At any rate, since LA doesn't see it fit to have any sort of public transportation (other than 1 commuter express) that goes directly from Downtown to West LA (more specifically Santa Monica), neither of us can forgo the car for the opportunity to use public transportation...

Hopefully this will all change when Villaraigosa's plan to build a subway to Santa Monica ... one can only hope!! Oh and I don't think expanding the 405 is the way to go ...
