How easy is to learn to take the bus?

Find out the bus number for your area. Go to www.metro.net. This website will give you all the info you need. The basic bus fare in LA is $1.50. The website has the schedules and transfer information. It's not that hard to take the bus, the only problem is that buses don't always come on time. Sometimes they come early or late, sometimes they don't come at all ( my teenagers have encountered that). The bus driver doesn't necessarily stop at every bus stop. It's best to sit close to the driver when you are ready to get off the bus. Important: the driver has no change.
