Burbank - Downtown Metrolink Station - Easy access - Public Transportation Near Me - Burbank, California

13 weeks ago a new so'called security person was hired. In 13 weeks she has followed me into the ladie's room 4 times along with following me around the station whilst I wait for my train. She does nothing. She is supposed to open bathroom doors & insure they are safe & fully stocked. She does not. She is to insure that passengers get on & off busses & trains safely. She's never around where there is heavy foot traffic. She walks numerous times to her car for food thus eating while she walks around on duty. She makes & receives personal calls while on duty. She plays with her hair. Additionally she allows anyone to smoke & vape at the station but me. Sadly, I witnessed a drug deal 2 weeks ago. Where was she then? It's no longer safe there in the mornings since Boaz & Guzman relocated to uptown Burbank. Lastly, she wears her own clothing leading people to ask me questions because she doesn't look like security. She needs to be replaced. read more

Burbank - Downtown Metrolink Station - New security who does nothing - Public Transportation Near Me - Burbank, California

So easy to ride drive or get a ride I used metrolink and amtrak for years going and coming back from OC but now I am retired read more

I like this Metrolink station in downtown Burbank, it has free parking, it's clean enough, safe enough, it has vending machine for tickets purchase, it nicely put together. It is also very convenient and I would like to use it more often instead of going to Union Station. Unfortunately, not a lot of trains stop here (not going to all directions), some just one way but not for return which is odd. The one by Burbank airport has more options in terms of trains, but this one is better, bigger and closer to me. I wish they would schedule more trains to stop here in more directions and more folks might use their service. read more

This station is a good connection point for Burbank and surrounding businesses. There are busses that head in to Burbank and Glendale and greater San Fernando Valley. You can get to Warner Brothers Studios and Universal Studios from here too. There are restrooms, ticketing kiosks, and even reserved bicycle storage. I think they should add bike and scooter rental drop off locations here so you can scoot into town easier. It's is fairly lit at night but as always I feel they could add brighter lighting for safety. Parking is kind of odd. There are a couple dozen spaces in a great location near the platforms but the main larger lot is on the other side of the overpass and about a half block walk. So allow time to walk over. read more

Alongside the 5 Fwy off Front St, just before Magnolia Blvd if heading northbound toward the shops, centers, and services of Downtown Burbank resides a truly easy Metrolink Station. I've only used this station for connecting services via the local LA Metro, however, it's never busy and has easy access for tickets, parking, and connecting to a lot of destinations not just in Los Angles but in a lot of SoCAL aka Southern California including Ventura County and the Antelope Valley. There are restrooms here as well as secure bike racks for the go greener-friendly types... Various shuttle services including that of Bob Hope/The Burbank airport. Did I mention the parking is free and overnight is allowed...Talk about a DTBK win! read more

Burbank - Downtown Metrolink Station - Public Transportation Near Me - Burbank, California

Decided to give Metrolink a try to head to work in downtown LA. I used to take the Metro Red Line but since that train line is basically a homeless encampment and drug infested, I am driving farther to Burbank and taking this route. Metrolink trains don't attract as many derelicts since it's above ground, there's someone checking tickets so no free loading. Well, it wasn't bad. And I think time wise, although I drive farther, the parking to platform walk is much shorter and the number of stops is shorter so it takes the same amount of time. My only complaint is that there should be more security. It's desolate early in the morning and many folks like me head into the office early. This is what it looks like for the first train of the day. There were a few other people there so that helped. But there should be police presence at least until the sun comes up. read more

Very clean, plenty of parking, vending machines for the tickets and vending machines for food/drinks - what else do you need? I believe the train for Downtown LA leaves every 30 minutes - the round trip tickets are $7.50 - very convenient if you think how tricky the parking situation is in downtown The only "complaint" I have is that there was literally nobody to ask information to - I was taking the train for the first time and I could not find someone in charge, thanks god there were other people waiting for the train so I ask them! read more

Never thought of taking metrolink till I received FREE metrolink tickets from them. This could be a nice adventure! This station is not super busy. Easy to find a parking spot (free). There is a bike shop to store your bikes. Clean restroom. 4 tickets machines. I checked the time schedule first before I came and it was right on time! The train is super clean, with cold A/C, very comfortable ride! There are 2/5 levels. Lots of seating area. On the upper level, there are a few seats with table. Perfect for doing some work while on the train. Some of the seats are next to charging outlet which will be convenient for charging the electronics. Metrolink is more expansive compared to Metro. They charge $2 per every stop. However, it is faster and more comfortable. Will definitely try again when I am traveling to OC. read more

Super clean, pretty safe feeling and free public wifi. I love that. The destination of the train is on the sides in a dark window. You miss it if your weren't looking. From Burbank, you need to take the train destined for Ventura on the side of the tracks closest to the freeway. read more

The Metrolink station; trains & busses, is fine. However, there are Downtown Burbank employees, called Ambassadors, whose job is to conduct homeless outreach as well as keep the grounds safe. There are 4 major areas of concern; social distancing & wearing a mask on the train platforms, do not allow smoking or feeding the pigeons. The smoking (tobacco & marijuana) is a chronic issue never addressed. (Humorous since both can be smelled as well as seen). No one is ever counciled for smoking, drinking alcohol, or urinating near passenger benches ... ever; only I have been spoken to & rudely I might add. The ambassadors constantly follow me around when there are other bus and train patrons. If I see the prohibited activity, why don't they? To date, 7 men have entered the women's restroom. Three of those men have been ambassadors. I have been harassed and followed into the bathroom and have been accused of lying or told it's not their problem to call the police; are you SECURity or not? Most of the time, with the exception of one fine fellow, the ambassadors can be found sitting down looking at their cell phones. There used to be Allied security guards who ran a tight ship. I say bring them back. read more

Burbank - Downtown Metrolink Station - Public Transportation Near Me - Burbank, California

I'm seriously such a pill.. Burbank is literally my second home and I had no idea this train station was less than a mile radius from me! Also, I have never been on a train.. Unless you count the one I used to play with as a child.. haha Anyways... I came here today, excited to have my very first train experience! Where to you might ask? Well, we decided to go to Union Station, which is convienently located right across from Olvera Street! Margaritas anyone? I think so. No choice. A round trip ticket from Burbank Station to Union Station was $12 a person. Which really is worth it. That's how much it would have cost me for parking anyways, so why waste the gas? So the money that was saved went right towards MARGARITAS BABY!!! All in all, the Burbank Train Station is nice, not congested and there was a very nice gentleman who worked there and was willing to help with any questions anyone may have had. read more

The Burbank Metrolink Station is nice and clean. I started with that because there are some transit hubs that are not clean, and if you are travelling and need to use the restroom, you might want to forget about it! But I can only speak for my own experience and I've never questioned whether I should use the facilities. Another plus for this station is that they have vending machines! Travelling and need a snack? Most hours of the day that is no problemo, however they do lock it up after a certain time and unlock it in the morning. I had some Doritos once and they were fresh. There are benches located every few feet and you can rest your tootsies while you wait for your train or bus. I've seen people dead asleep on these benches in the early morning hours but they are harmless. I've never felt unsafe. I'm usually here to hop on the local bus to get to work, but I have gone to Disneyland by train and bus with this station as my starting point. The train ride was fun for me because it was a new experience but there are a lot of serious commuters. I recommend knowing exactly where you are going and what you are doing because these people don't mess around. Overall there are lots of ways to get around from this station: MTA busses, trains, Local Blue Bus, and megabus! If this station if part of your commute then your worries are few. read more

Pretty simple train station to navigate. The ticket kiosk was self explanatory and very easy to use, as well as adequate posted schedules. The only thing that was confusing was the tracks were not labeled. As a first time user, I did not know which of the two tracks to wait at for my train to Downtown LA. After asking a few people, I got a good answer, but if there was nobody there, I would have to guess. That's my story read more

The Security guy here was on a power trip and very aggressive told me if I wasn't picking someone up. I had ten mins to leave or he would call the cops. Not professional or polite at all. You don't have to ducking threaten me with the police to get me to leave. You could have ask nicely and I would have left also would have gotten the same response. Needless to say I will never come here again. read more

Very dirty station. Restrooms in disrepair, pigeons everywhere along with security just sitting around. I have commuted for over 3 years and at one time this station WAS kept up and used to be highly regarded as one to enjoy but all that has changed. This place is a joke compared to the other stations on the AV/VC lines. read more

This is a very nice metro station. There is a large parking lot on either side of the tracks and the area is kept clean. There are also outlets at the bench areas which is handy if your device is low on charge. #burbank #metrolink read more

A lot of reviews say that this station is clean but I beg to differ. Since I commute with my bike and wanted to get into the city, had to take the elevator upstairs to go over the freeway... Wasn't difficult but what I wasn't ready for was how bad the elevator smelled like urine. I swear it's like someone went in there and just defecated or something. Other than that, there's a lot of parking in this area and it seems like it's safe during the day. Also a lot of benches. Be careful when crossing the tracks to get into the city. Don't be dumb and not look both ways before crossing! Also, don't think this station would be too safe during the evening. Kind of sketch. read more

I like this station. There are two lines that run through it (Ventura and Antelope Valley) so a train comes about every 15-30 minutes depending time on day. More in the morning then slows down in the afternoon, and picks up again at night. This has literally saved my butt when I'm running late, I feel like I can just wait for the next train. Also good during fire season when one line gets cancelled, you can hopefully depend on the other to be running. Can't say much about the facilities on the ground. The commuters are okay when it comes to courtesy, they don't make a line and I've had people just walk in front of me to get on the train ( RUDE). I used to take the Riverside line and everyone made a line there. Parking is plenty, although there is more parking on the Olive Side by Track 1 and it's closer also if you're in a rush. Track 2 has limited parking on Front Street, but there is a bigger lot a little off to the side of it, but you'll have to walk a bit further. Google Maps will take you to the Front Street entrance, to get to the Olive Street Lot type in "5 West Olive Avenue" instead. Parking isn't covered so prepare for dust and ash during fire season, and bird droppings :( read more

We decided to take the train to the Ventura County fairgrounds. We wanted to take the long around with train transfers. We paid the extra for "business class" and it was wonderful. Everything was really clean at the train station and we met some great people going north. Highly recommend using the Burbank Train Station. read more

Little known secret here if you fly out of Burbank and are on a budget. You'll have to do the research on your own like I did though.

I like to take my kid here to watch the trains come in and go out. great free fun!

Overall a clean station. They have bike storage & vending machines (near the elevator leading up to the Olive Ave. overpass). My only gripe is that elevator. Seems worn down and dirty. Other than that, it's great. read more

More covered benches would be nice, but the station is clean and I feel safe here. Definitely well lit at nights.

Was my first time ever in the city and seeing Transportation set up this way which was interesting. The transportation is priced fairly decent and this particular station has a area Subway located within it. Reason I'm giving this one for starters and not 5 is because it seemed a bit dirty in the bathroom smelled strong urine read more

There seems to have been a step-up in restroom cleanings. It smells less than before.

Great clean and organised trained station with all the amenities for business travelers like myself. You'll be glad to use Metro Link

It has clean bathrooms! Thank God! My Metrolink station in the OC doesn't!
