Torrance is more convenient by bus than by train, and buses are surprisingly accurate.
Train, bus, or Uber,
no matter what mode of transportation you use, if you're unlucky you're out of luck, but so far the odds aren't that bad with buses

If you're not worried about money, Uber is the way to go, but it's getting more expensive these days, and you'll need a cell phone.

If you are taking routes to major tourist attractions such as Downtown, Hollywood, Santa Monica, etc., it is relatively safe to take buses, etc., during the daytime.
You may want to be more cautious around Exposition Park.

Torrance is LA in the first place ？
Uber is not so good these days and sometimes there are rude drivers

I personally feel that Torrance has more unfriendly people than LA, but I only go to Torrance occasionally so it might be a coincidence.　Buses only run once an hour even on weekdays. It is better to rent a car because it is very inconvenient. It's like a homeless place. It's filthy, smelly, and trashy.
strange drug addicts are sleeping on the platform or in the train ､ people are smoking cigarettes and weed, and strange noises can be heard everywhere.
What do you do on weekdays? ？
I stay home all weekdays and only go sightseeing on weekends ？
Torrance especially on weekends, there is not much traffic
and some routes don't run on Sundays ､ I suggest you do your research before you go. I would recommend you to do your research in advance.

You can buy a Torrance bus one month unlimited pass for $ 35 at city hall. It is very convenient, especially if you take the #3 bus, which goes east to Long Beach and west to Redondo Beach Pier. Fare is $ 1
Get off at Carson and Figueroa, walk west for 1.2 minutes, go down the stairs and take the J Line to Downtown, Union Station and El Monte to the north.
EZ Pass for unlimited bus rides throughout LA is $ about 110 I think, but if you use it for sightseeing, it will pay for itself quickly.
Metro 344 runs along Artesia in Gardena and Torrance, then turns at South Bay Galleria and heads south on Hawthorne Blvd, passing by Del Amo Mall on the way to Palos Verdes. If you are a tourist, ride to the end of the line and you will get a very nice view of PV and sometimes see horses along the way ！ Fare $ 1.75

If you are staying in South Torrance, take Metro 232 at PCH, which goes north to LAX airport and south to Long Beach, running from early morning to late at night. $ 1.75
Metro 344 and Torrance Transit #8 also go there. 8 goes to LAX.

If you are staying on the east side of Torrance or Torrance P.O., the Gardena Bus #2 runs north-south and is very frequent and can take you north to the Green Line Vermont station and south to the Pacific Coast Highway where Metro 232 runs. Fare is $ 1

If you are staying in North Torrance, you can take Torrance Transit #13, which runs east-west through Artesia, to Hermosa Beach Pier or Redondo Beach Pier. Beach Pier. Fare is $ 1
every 30 minutes, and from South Bay Galleria, you can take Metro 210 north on Crenshaw to Hollywood. The ride will take you through a slightly seedy neighborhood that is typical of LA, and then suddenly becomes urban at Wiltshire Blvd. and finally to Hollywood, passing through a beautiful neighborhood of fine homes. Just riding this line is a thought-provoking day that makes you realize the gap between rich and poor, light and shadow, etc. in LA. This line also runs from early morning until about midnight. I feel safe on both buses and Metrorail, but girls from Japan may stand out because they are beautifully dressed. You might want to dress lightly and not be a target for pickpockets, etc., and be careful when you are not used to it.
But Torrance buses from No.1 to No.10 and No.13 are all clean and safe.
You can enjoy sightseeing by public transportation ！
Torrance has many Japanese food markets such as Nijya, Mitsuwa, Seiwa, Tokyo Central, etc., and it is a very nice place to eat and enjoy the nice breeze from the sea.

↑ Very helpful info. If I may add,
dress in jeans, t-shirts, and hoodies. If you want to go out in style,
take an Uber or cab. Also, if you use a slanted bag, make sure that the bag part does not go around your back.

Right. Sneakers, jeans, and a sweatshirt or hoodie. Plus a backpack on your back so students can see you and be safe. Not something fashionable, like Jansport, which is what students here use to get to school. Regardless of your age, it is easy to fit in with your surroundings on the bus or train.
Also, it can get quite cold in the evening, especially at night, so it is a good idea to have a jacket or something in your backpack for your return.

Let's think a little more positive and easy, Otoutou, who loves to brown-nose.
To reduce the risk, dress as inconspicuously as possible so that you can fit in with your surroundings. Even so, if people think you are a traveler and talk to you, you can talk and become friends. In the U.S., older people and people of the same sex often talk to you in a friendly manner. You should not follow them at once, though, even if they offer to show you around.
I have not seen pickpockets on public transportation yet, probably because there are not many people who are good with their hands here. I have not seen pickpockets on public transportation yet, probably because there are not so many people who are good with their hands here.
Don't dress up too much, wear sneakers or something light and student-like, and you should be able to greatly reduce the risk.

I have yet to hear of that trick in LA, but it might be better to think of backpacks as a way to fit in with your surroundings and to carry drinks, jackets, etc., and to keep your valuables on your person.
Incidentally, I took the J Line to Downtown yesterday, and again, there were many people using backpacks.
Also, I think you can use a slanted purse on Torrance Transit if you are dressed up, except for Lines 3 and 8, which are long and sometimes crowded, but the rest of the lines are empty.

Sorry for repeating myself, but I think the Torrance bus #8 is fine even if you are dressed up. It doesn't go through poor neighborhoods and many women who shop at Del Amo Mall and South Bay Galleria use it to commute to work.

If you were traveling abroad and walking along and a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man spoke to you in one word of Japanese, saying that he was studying Japanese,

Even if you have money, you can't enjoy eating out or traveling with a stingy partner, and if you make a good amount of money, that's fine, but if you're a spendthrift, you worry about your old age. Marriage is all about duties, responsibilities, and property division, and it's all set by law.
If it's just a love affair, it's fine, but if you're getting married, I think you should choose your partner more carefully.
