Adam Conover has ruined weddings, the suburbs, sitcoms, college, personality tests and TurboTax. Now the host of “Adam Ruins Everything” and the Netflix comedy docuseries “The G Word” is out to ruin another thing: the assumption that you need a car to live a fulfilled life in Los Angeles. Conover hated driving since the day he moved from New York to L.A. in 2014, but his disdain reached a breaking point when he nearly hit a bicyclist. “People were honking at me and I got all frazzled and I was like, ‘This is ruining my life,’” he says.⁠ ⁠ He decided to see if it was possible to take public transportation to work, and it was. (A DASH bus ride costs less than a buck.) Today, Conover walks or takes public transit just about everywhere. He’s an evangelist for programs like Metro Micro, an L.A. County-run service that’s similar to Uber and Lyft but only costs $1 per ride. (In a review of the experience on TikTok, he says, “The best part is I didn’t get nauseous riding around in the back of some weird Uber dude’s Kia Sorento.”)⁠ ⁠ Here’s how Conover would spend his ideal Sunday in L.A. ⁠ ⁠ Illustration by Jaya Nicely @jayafish
