Getting around Beverly Hills without a car
How to get around Beverly Hills without a car: walking the Golden Triangle, the new Metro D Line, buses, the weekend trolley, rideshare and Moke rentals.
By Ohana Mobility
You can see the heart of Beverly Hills without a car. The Golden Triangle, home to Rodeo Drive, is a flat grid of shopping and dining streets you can walk end to end. Since May 2026 the Metro D Line subway has stopped at Wilshire/La Cienega on the city’s eastern edge, and Metro buses on Wilshire Boulevard (Line 20) and Santa Monica Boulevard (Line 4) cross the city for $1.75 a ride. Uber and Lyft cover the rest. Shared e-scooters are not permitted in Beverly Hills. To reach places farther out, such as the canyons, Sunset Boulevard or the coast, you can rent an open-air electric Moke without staying at a hotel.
On foot: the Golden Triangle
The Golden Triangle is bounded by Santa Monica Boulevard to the northwest, Wilshire Boulevard to the south and Cañon Drive to the east. Rodeo Drive runs through the middle. Its three best-known blocks stretch from Wilshire to Santa Monica Boulevard, with roughly 100 stores, restaurants and hotels. Beverly Drive and Cañon Drive, a block or two east, have most of the cafés and everyday restaurants. If your hotel is in or near the Triangle, you may not need anything but walking shoes for a day or two.
Metro rail: the D Line
On May 8, 2026, the D Line subway opened three new stations along Wilshire Boulevard, ending at Wilshire/La Cienega. That station gave Beverly Hills its first passenger rail service since 1954. From Union Station downtown, the ride takes about 20 minutes with no transfers.
Wilshire/La Cienega is at the eastern edge of the city, about a 20-minute walk or short bus ride from Rodeo Drive. The next phase of the line adds stations in Beverly Hills and Century City and is expected to open in 2027.
Metro buses
Three Metro lines cross Beverly Hills:
- Line 20: Wilshire Boulevard, between downtown Los Angeles and Santa Monica. It connects the D Line at Wilshire/La Cienega with the south edge of the Golden Triangle.
- Line 4: Santa Monica Boulevard, between downtown and Santa Monica. It runs 24 hours a day, every day.
- Line 16: West 3rd Street, toward West Hollywood and downtown.
The base fare is $1.75 with a TAP card and includes two hours of free transfers. Fares cap at $5 a day and $18 over seven days.
Weekend trolley
The City of Beverly Hills runs a free trolley between the Civic Center and Rodeo Drive on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. It is a shuttle, not a narrated tour. Hours have changed over the years, so confirm the schedule with the city before planning around it.
Rideshare, scooters and bikes
Uber and Lyft are the easiest way to reach places transit doesn’t, such as the hillside neighborhoods north of Sunset Boulevard. Shared scooters are not an option here. Beverly Hills banned shared e-scooters and dockless bikes in 2018 and has extended the ban since.
An electric Moke for the afternoon
Walking and the subway work well in the Triangle. The rest of the Westside asks for something with wheels: the palm-lined residential streets, a drive up a canyon, a late lunch by the ocean. Ohana Mobility rents open-air electric Mokes in Beverly Hills to anyone with a valid driver’s license, with no hotel stay needed. Booking, payment and driver checks all happen online.
