The Red line was the only one operating during our "off season" visit and it was Friday - Sunday only, but FREE and just a simple ride once around will get you quickly acclimated to this great town. Since we were near the Metrolink station and pier, the short walk to the "main hub" of shopping was a bit of a climb, so it was much easier to wait and let the trolley do the work. lol

This station is very clean and is convenient to travel through if you're heading to and from Orange County (O.C.) stations on the Metrolink, though you may have to transfer depending where you want to go. There are TWO different O.C. lines, so check their website to locate the proper route! Metrolink runs through here only on the weekends. Amtrak also stops here, so check their schedule on their website. This station is also very close by to the San Clemente Trolley and some pretty cool eatery and coffee shop right across the street. Be careful walking across the tracks to get to the beach side and follow all track signals and signs.

(I suppose trains like this stay this clean and pristine because San Diego hasn't got Chicago's awful weather). I took the Coaster to Old Town to meet a friend for dinner before I went to the airport on my way out of town. Service operates primarily during weekday peak periods, but there is also limited weekday midday, Friday evening, and Saturday service. Special evening service is provided when the San Diego Padres play Monday-Thursday evening home games. The only thing that bugged me is there was no one to collect the ticket I bought at the station before boarding. This was 100% honor system, and I suspect it's widely abused to the disadvantage of the transit authority, but maybe they save more money than they lose this way by not employing conductors.

This coffee machine is fantastic. My personal recommendation is the French vanilla cappucino which is delicious and great for a morning drink or for a nice sip on the way home after a long day at the office. The current machine is new and has a lot of options and this difference elevate my Irvine station appearance to 5 stars. Highly recommend for those commuting from an Amtrak station to a Non Amtrak station who see an Amtrak train before their metrolink train. This is my favorite train station to wait at even if only for 15 minutes. I feel safe and between the inside seating area and outside amenities it is far superior to where I get on the train at Santa Ana

You're near the friggin' airport! True, but the Spectrum area gets all the attention. They have the train station, they have the cool shopping area. Sure, we're close to south coast, and we have all those nifty protected right turns here, but public transportation from outside of Irvine kind of sucks for those of us that work or are starting to live here. Plus, we don't have things like those Grade 1 bike trails that are available to the spectrumites (i.e. San Diego Creek). Not no more. Irvine recently got fundage from OCTA to start this nifty little shuttle service that runs on 3 routes: the A - Route going from Tustin Metrolink to John Wayne the B - Route going from Tustin Metrolink to Jamboree/Michelson (Pacific Park Shopping Center) the C - Route which runs around the heart of the IBC in a circle like a 5 year old manchild on a couple of pixie sticks. So, it doesn't go EVERYwhere, but it can get you close enough to where you're going if you're a commuter (like moi) who's trying to drive less. Since it's a new service, everything is... well, new. The shuttles are nice and clean. They look like those "special" school buses, the type that almost look like they would do well in a "Mad Max" futuristic world with spikes and what not. I think the Bike Rack at the front really helps with that image. Oh yeah, they have bike racks, so you can pedal your way from your stop to your work/play area if you so desire. Really useful for those that pedal their way to Metrolink too. All in all, I like it. Right now, rides are free until Sept 1st 2008. Afterwards, the fee to ride breaks down like this: $1.00 Boarding During Peak Period (5:30a - 9:30a and 3:30p - 7:30p on Weekdays) $.50 Boarding During Off-Peak Period (9:30a - 3:30p Weekdays & All Day Saturday and Sunday) FREE Riders Presenting Valid Metrolink Pass/ Ticket for Rider Connecting to and from Tustin Metrolink Station Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars? Limited run times (along with the limited train service Metrolink provides). I'd like to see more service (but that also goes with my want to see more trains). However, for a start, it's not bad =)
