Back in the days when I lived in the South Bay area of Los Angeles County, whenever I had to fly somewhere, I would either take a taxi or have someone drop me off at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Since I moved to the San Fernando Valley, there's a service that I have found to be very convenient.
It is the Van Nuys Flyaway.
The Van Nuys Flyaway is a bus service from Van Nuys to LAX. It costs only $7.00 (but it is going up to $8.00 in July) to be bused from the San Fernando Valley to LAX. Additionally, one can park their car at the Flyaway's long-term parking structure for only $4.00 per 24 hours.

Starting at 4:30 a.m., buses leave the Flyaway terminal every fifteen minutes. At the terminal, your luggage is tagged for the different airline terminals. When a traveler returns to LAX from their trip, the Flyaway buses can be found at stops in the lower level bus stops.
The Van Nuys Flyaway has a nice, modern terminal building. I remember the days when the Flyaway was basically a driveway alongside a tiny white building (about the size of a small house). Even though the Flyaway is in a modern facility, at least it is still convenient to use and cheap.
