It has 15 bus stands in a two-multi bay island platforms. Moreover, its underground parking can accommodate 3,000 paid car spots which can easily be accessed.

We planned a trip from Fullerton to San Diego in the business class section of the train…read more I can honestly say that business class is the way to go. We had plenty of leg room, and it was a smooth ride. The train crew were polite, and super friendly. Making it a much more enjoyable experience. Not to mention the snacks they offer. That's always a plus. My only complaint and reason for 4 stars is the un-manned information booth at the Fullerton station, where our day started. We had a couple of questions because we needed assistance on where we had to board. There were no employees in sight. We found ourselves having to ask other riders if we were at the right location. Aside that little bump in the road, everything went smooth. We definitely had an awesome experience and will be looking forward to future trips on Amtrak.

There were two main issues with this station: 1. No employees were visible anywhere in the station. Many passengers felt confused about where to go or had questions regarding their trips. The sign on the information window explained that no staff were available because they were trainside- those with questions searched repeatedly for employees but found none. 2. The PA system was very hard to hear due to heavy static, and in Area 1, the Business section, messages broadcast to other parts of the loading platforms were nonexistent. Customers waiting to board tried to help each other. Despite these two issues, I would definitely use this station again.

This is the furthest stop from LA on the azusa side of the gold line that does not charge for parking or require a monthly pass. The lot fills up quickly but there is lots of parking in the surrounding area. The area is safe, and you don't have to worry about the hustle and bustle you might find at more frequented metro stops. Nestled next to City of Hope near the 210/605 freeways, access is easy and the place is both clean and well lit at night. I may or may not be on the gold line as I am writing this review, and I may or may not have just had a tasty saison at imperial western, the new brewery in union station. This may have inspired me to write about a metro station, pulling out the emotions and opinions I have held for quite some time.

My boyfriend and I decided to go for a little adventure and took public transportation together…read more This location at the Sierra Madre Villa Station conveniently has a parking garage to store your car. The metro stop is located on the 4th floor if you want to strategically part there, or park on another floor and take the elevator to 4th. We had a few motivators since the 10 fwy is closed due to the fires, avoid that LA traffic and the cost of the Metro is cheaper than the parking at the LA Convention Center. The downside is some stinkiness and sketch characters. You will need a TAP card ($2) and each trip is $1.75/trip or $5/day cap or $18/week cap. It's definitely a good deal for someone who live in the area or travelers to get around without renting a car. We exited at the Pico Station and we were within walking distance of the LA Convention Center. It was pretty easy and convenient.

We took a little ride on the Metro from San Dimas to Glendora for lunch and a stroll through their…read moredowntown area. Being a weekday, there weren't a lot of other passengers either waiting at the station or riding in our car. This was our first journey on the rail A Line that now runs from Pomona to Long Beach. The Glendora station area is neat and, being only a few months old, all the ticket machines are working and in good order. I mention this as I've read reviews where other Metro riders have had issues with buying or reloading fare (TAP) cards at other stations. The passengers at this station enter and debark just south of the Glendora post office. From there, it's only a short walk east to Glendora Avenue and then north (two blocks?) to city hall and the downtown area full of shops and eating/drinking establishments. Feeling mildly apprehensive after having heard some of the horror stories about public rail systems, I'm happy to report that my wife and I rode comfortably in a clean car and were not disturbed by the few other people (three?) on the train. I've had others observe that sitting in the front car (nearest the driver) is preferable for those wishing to avoid some of the more "colorful" characters that sometimes frequent the rail systems. We took this advice as a preventative measure with positive results. We did have an exceptionally long wait for our return train with three trains pulling into Glendora heading toward Downtown L.A. by the time we boarded the next train back to San Dimas. Usually there are trains pulling into Glendora about every eight minutes or so, but there were some announcements about an elevator issue at Union Station (automated information boards were fairly accurate in keeping us updated on the delayed arrival time). Our wait was a little over 15-minutes. We enjoyed our inaugural journey and are considering other excursions to neighboring cities along the line. It's inexpensive enough to ride (regular fares $1.75 one way/seniors .75) and a great option if your destination is nearby the station and you don't mind a little additional walking.

In my case I had to stay four nights and commuting from Glendale to Arcadia and on my return trip I had to fly out of Bob Hope Airport.

It's a Metro Rapid line, so there are less stops for a somewhat quicker ride. The 780 would arrive on time and the driver was usually personable. Because this stop is a bus transit HUB, our group of passengers are the first on the bus - a definite advantage to strategically find a comfortable seat. The bus travels North up Fairfax Ave. and hooks a right on Hollywood blvd. Basically every morning and evening I'd get a little Hollywood / LA Tour. It passes the 10 Fwy, Canter's Deli, the Grove, TCL Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Highland Center, Pantages Theatre, The W., House Of Pies, Griffith Park, Los Feliz, Bigfoot's Lodge, Glendale Galleria, the Americana at Brand, The Oinkster (Eagle Rock), rides along the 210 Fwy, Paseo Pasadena.. To top it off it crosses the infamous Colorado 'Suicide' Street Bridge far East from Eagle rock going into Pasadena. It's a wonderful sight from the bus because its raised higher than other vehicles, so you can see a little beyond the railing giving you a beautiful view of what the San Gabriel Valley has to offer. Fair warning: there are moments where it gets ridiculously crowded on this bus. It's because it goes right through highly congested traffic arteries most LA natives know to avoid if they're going to drive themselves (Fairfax Ave, Hollywood Blvd, Vermont Blvd, Los Feliz Blvd and Colorado Blvd). It's a route a normal Angelino would NOT drive. But because you're not driving and you're the passenger, it truly is like a mini tour where you can take in the greater Los Angeles area without the hassle of being behind the wheel.
