The bus I take in the morning is definitely more reliable than the afternoon buses. The afternoon buses continue to be late or not show up. Today's bus line skipped a time, so a huge crowd had gathered. Instead of splitting us into two groups, we all had to cram into one and I'm pretty sure some people weren't allowed on since we were full. If the first bus had come, this wouldn't have happened. They should have more buses running at closer intervals, depending on how busy the routes are. Obviously the ones going to the schools need a lot. On another note, I've noticed that only some buses announce the next stop coming up. It would be nice if all of them did that.

If you take the 289 don't even try it. Unreliable service. After a certain time in the morning, the bus only runs every hour. Terrible for all the employees and students that need to get from anywhere between puente hills mall, walnut middle and high school, mt sac, and cal poly pomona. I asked about where to provide input about the bus lines and they emailed back that they don't provide greater frequency for 289 because nobody uses it. Well nobody uses it because there isn't enough frequency!

Very hard to navigate. Google maps says they come at this time but we had to wait 10 min longer. None of the buses came at that time 8:36am. Also we weren't late either. We came at 8:29am. Google maps says Bay 25 but the driver was picking people up in Bay 19. I'm glad caught the bus or else Bay 25 is the other side of the bus stop and maybe it wouldn't even stop. Going to downtown, we had a helpful individual that said any one of these buses on the upper lots can get you there. There are stations on the bottom of the train stations so be on a look out of where your ride is located. Either upper or lower deck.

I have since retired and now use the train occasionally. I used to buy a monthly pass (discount for frequent users). Also available are daily, student/senior discounts, and special weekend prices too. Plan your trip by checking their website for arrival and departure times. The passes are not sold on the train, you must pre-purchase at the convenient kiosk. The Covina Station has permit parking, which must be purchased through the City of Covina. Across the street is a parking structure, daily passes can be bought at the machine located by the entrance. The train cars have an upper and lower seating sections, some areas have a table that seats four people. Food or drinks are permitted, but not sold on the train. They also have clean bathrooms, which is a plus when traveling with a family or distance more than an hour in duration. Enjoy the ride and don't forget to tell em that Rosemary sent ya!!

We parked at the Azusa downtown station and I had to buy a tap card (I have one already but haven't used it in years) at the station. There's also a TAP app but I didn't want to risk my phone dying and then I couldn't turn it on to use the app to get on the train. Good thing I got the card because my phone did die and I didn't bring a battery pack with me because the Rose Bowl had strict rules on the size of the bag you could bring in. Once we exited at the right station, we passed two lights and were able to easily catch the shuttle to the Rose Bowl for the concert. I've been to the Rose Bowl numerous times and I'm never parking there, I'd rather take the Gold Line to save on the stress and hassle. Only downside is you may have to leave your event a little early to beat the crowd out but it's worth it.

I usually find plenty of spaces in the mornings, and I've never had any issues with my car, even though there are quite a few homeless people around the area. I use the LA Metro app to pay for my parking fare, which is super convenient because I can just pay as I'm walking to the platform and don't have to stop at a machine. Around the time I ride, the trains aren't very crowded, which makes the commute easy and predictable. Plus, I save around 30-45 minutes compared to driving home during rush hour, which is a huge win for me. There are, however, several homeless individuals who sleep on the train. Most have been harmless, but occasionally the smell has been bad enough that I've had to get off and wait for the next one. One time I was rushing to catch the train and an ambassador told me to just hop on without tapping and of course that ended up being the day fare inspectors were checking. Thankfully, I showed that my TAP card was fully loaded, and the officer was understanding. Still, I wish fare enforcement was applied more consistently, because it doesn't feel fair when regular riders get checked while the homeless are overlooked and not asked to show theirs. Aside from that, most Metro staff and ambassadors I've met have been kind, professional, and quick to respond when issues come up. The trains themselves can get pretty dirty, though I really wish all stations had the automatic doors like the ones at Lake Station to help keep things cleaner and reduce people bringing large smell carts onto the trains. Overall, it's a reliable and affordable commute option with friendly staff, and it saves me a lot of time compared to driving. The system could use some improvements, but for convenience and time savings, it's been worth it.

They do have two security guards on the train platform for passenger safety here at this station during the day. It's an easy in, easy out parking structure. We didn't have any hassles on the way back when it was 9:30 pmish. As of now, this train stop is the end of the line. It's nice that I live in the Inland Empire, that we can drive here, leave the car, and take the train to LA without worry. It's nice to not have to drive all the way into downtown LA and that this train runs super late and early mornings from this Azusa stop. Perhaps they have improved this station? The inside of the train yes, a different story. Don't they check the train cars when stopping? The first train car we got into we quickly exited as someone puked on it. You would think trains are there long enough to be checked and even cleaned. If not, they should be. Also, does anyone check train tickets? A couple people on here sleeping that appear to just ride around and get off the train whenever they wake up or feel like it. No safety on the train when crazy people are on it. I Rate the train parking structure stop a 5. Security on platform a 5. Posted Cleaning crew 1. Inside train safety and cleanliness 1. So this is a generous even 3 stars. Much improvement needed.

I inspected the bus before boarding and to my surprise, the seats were all ripped up in the very first row and continued to the back of the bus, some of the blinds weren't working properly and the floor was sticky. This was beyond embarrassing. What's worse is they had the nerve to charge us an additional $350.00 five days after the expiration of our contract for no reason! They didn't return phone calls or answer emails when questioned about this additional charge. This company is a fraud. We are currently in dispute and they will be reported to the Better Business Bureau, Dept of Transportation, and all other consumer reporting agencies. BUYER BEWARE!

The answer was El Monte Metrolink station at 9:55 a.m. on Saturday. The Metrolink app is a life saver because you could purchase a ticket through the app and not have to budget time to purchase a ticket at the kiosk at the station and risk missing the train. The El Monte Station has LOTS of free parking and the track is right there with no bridge to cross to the other side of the track. I paid around $4 to get to L.A. Union Station from here and it was 2 stops away. I met some very cool people there that were also very helpful.
