9 hour layover @ LAX & Fashion District

Hi everyone,
I will have a 9 hour layover when flying through LAX and want to vist the downtown fashion district. My luggage will be checked through. It will be on a Saturday so traffic hopefully won't be too much of a nightmare. I think I'll take the flyaway bus to Union Station but from there how do i get to the District shops... cab? metro? Or would it be a good idea to just catch a taxi from LAX straight to downtown? If someone could give me some advice and some idea of travel times/distance on the above, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Here's the website for the Fashion District. Click on Map & Directions.

I would take a cab from Union Station. 10-15 minutes tops. BTW, Saturdays are really busy in the district.

Do any of these weekend DASH routes work for you?

Personally, I don't find the fashion district in Los Angeles worthwhile visiting. You might get a different opinion from other Fodorites.

I agree with easytraveler. I also don't find the Fashion District in Downtown LA to be too desirable. It used to be fun many years ago but it is a mess now.
