Just wondering if someone can help with my question about Los Angeles public transport.

If I was to stay in Anaheim (which I will be doing because it is cheaper, and we want to do the whole Disney parks thing), is it possible to travel into other parts of LA on public transport. For example to go into the Manns Chinese Theatre area, or into Universal Studios. Or into areas with shopping malls perhaps? Or do I have to pay for a tour to take us to these parts?

I realise it is a very large city, but I want to know if it is easy to get around without a car.

Many thanks for your help Megan New Zealand
