First time taking the shuttle from Pasadena to the Hollywood Bowl (HB). The HB has a link on their…read morewebsite to purchase Shuttle or Park&Ride transportation tickets. The Los Angeles Philharmonic Assoc (LAPhil) operates the HB venue. I didn't know some events are sponsored by the LAPhil, others are rented out to outside agencies and have different methods to purchase concert and transportation tickets. I tried to get a transportation ticket for Arcadia Park, but it was not on the list. I called the Box Office and was told Arcadia and Rowland Heights are only available for LAPhil events. I am writing this review so others who live in the Eastern part of LA County will know Pasadena is the best option (when Arcadia or Rowland Heights is not available). The cost was $12.45 for a round-way ticket and includes the price of parking at the Pasadena structure. You must park on Level 3 or 4, walk down to Ramona Street and the HB bus will be waiting at the time designated on your ticket (4:30, 5:30 or 6PM). The bus was clean, it took about 45 minutes to arrive. The bus dropped us off in Lot B, and will take you back to Pasadena 20 minutes after the show ends. It was a good experience, the price was a good deal! NOTE: You can take a chance and buy a ticket the day of the event at the bus stop, but if it is full, you will have to drive all the way to the HB. Save yourself a headache and buy in advance!

I liked that they have some security people around the night we used it. It's an outdoor stop, so on a cold night it's not ideal. But I'm glad it's there and didn't have to wait a long time for the train to come. Complaint? As other Yelpers mentioned, the line is constructed in the middle of the freeway so it's very noisy and a tar unnerving. But since the subway was constructed so late in the game in LA, what can you do?

If I could give this station zero stars, I would…read more The biggest issue with this station and its inconvenient location, is that it's become a thoroughfare for the homeless. There are shopping carts, people high out of their minds, pan handlers, people passed out on the sidewalks assaults, the smell of urine saturates the air, you name it, all taking place at this station. Absolutely do not recommend, especially if you are a woman or after dark. This platform is a dangerous one and Pasadena has done a horrible job maintaining it. Additionally, you'll sit on a platform waiting for your train in the middle of a freeway, dodging the occasional homeless person harassing you or begging you for money.

Memorial Park Gold Line Station is nice and convenient. Located beside Memorial Park of Pasadena…read morethis hub for LA Metro's L (Gold) Line is one I've taken more than a handful of times over the years. It's well kept and easy to access, has kiosks for purchasing and reloading physical TAP cards and a fair amount of benches/seating spaced out as well as trash cans/waste bins and signage to help guild you via maps, digital screens displaying arrival times for the East or West Bound side and some cool designs throughout making it feel very local. My big problem is over the past 10 years, even with improvements the West Bound side continues to experience a ridiculous number of delays and issues. Recently I saw 3 trains for the Eastbound side go by within the span of half an hour while waiting for the West, it was the worst deja vu because it happened in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2021 and now here again today. I have taken it Westbound with zero issue once. To top it off the train I was on had major issues, possibly do to another cart on the track, safety concern or something from the moment we took off. It kept at the slowest pace for three stations stops, eerily so and then came to a complete stop for several minutes where I saw another Eastbound train go by O.O - NO ANNOUNCEMENT whatsoever. I was running later than I wanted to for meeting up in Highland Park. It made me realize boarding here isn't the best, at least not for me. Eventually the train was moving and functioning normal the remainder I was on which was less than a minute as I was only going four stops, guuuuurl... Do better. Go Metro, but have an alternative or two.

We didn't mind that we missed a train, enjoyed hanging out, admiring the view. Shady spots and you can see Michael Myer's house from the original "Halloween" movie from there!

If I'm trying to save money and gas by taking the Metro, why not find a free lot while I'm at it? The entrance to the lot is located on Raymond, close to Fillmore (right across from Jones Coffee Roasters). Remember, all metro riders must park on the 4th or 5th floor! When you get out of the lot and head over to the train, you can also exit the opposite side's gate to get to the CVS in case you forgot anything before the ride! They've got a few TAP Card stations there to refill/purchase your card and go! It's an outdoor station and mainly goes on or above ground. I say this because the Red Line from Union travels underground so I never get reception!

The Gold Line is arguably the cleanest, and the train on which you're least likely to get tuberculosis of the rainbow lines. Weekday commuters use the train to get into LA, or to Inion station where the red line, for example, connects with Mid-Wilshire, etc. If you live or park near the Allen station (watch the neighborhood signs restricting parking without a permit, or park a block or two away where there are no signs) you can easily catch the train to Old Town Pasadena, the village area of South Pasadena, or go get some Mu Shu pork in Chinatown. Great for folks who don't mind walking a bit, or who like to have a few adult beverages and don't want to risk a DUI. All riders now must have a TAP card (purchase and reload at the kiosks) or a pass... No more paper tickets. While chances are you'll never have an incident on any public transportation vehicle, there are still the occasional weirdos, people with chronic coughs and poorly dressed wounds, the costume people, homeless folks in desperate need of a shower. There's that loud group of IDGAF teen gangstas from time to time. Essentially, many of the folks that are too strange for the DMV? They're going Metro! If you don't mind the adventure, it's actually an outstanding people watching venue. The Allen station is outdoors and you have to make sure you don't miss the trains when they pull up... They go farther forward on the platform than would seem convenient, so be prepared to run, or move to the end of the platform when you seethe train coming. Try waving at cars going by to pass the time.

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.

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.
