Other than Pasadena, USC, Long Beach, Santa Monica (soon), Anaheim Stadium and Disneyland, LAX (soon), Hollywood, Irvine, Century City, the Wilshire corridor, and Burbank airport you can't get around at all by rail in Southern California.

We visited Southern California last summer for five days and only rented a car once. LA County curerntly has over eighty miles of light and heavy rail, with over seventy stations. Additionally, the Metro Link commuter rail has over 500 miles of track that it uses. LA also probably has the best bus rapid transit in the United States, with the Orange line.
