DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — I know, I get sort of single-tracked in some of these issues, but the idea of taking an overall look at how traffic and parking functions on Spring Street intrigues me. Today I took a little time to sit out in front of my apartment and count buses.

Yes, this is my idea of fun.

No, I don’t get out much.

(Sorry RSS people… You get this without a jump.)

The answer: 46

That’s 92 buses per hour during the peak period. Yikes.
