Saw there was a LADOT DASH bus waiting at the train station, which runs every 15 minutes around Reseda. No WiFi access is available on any Metrolink trains while the Amtrak has it for Business Class seats. Beginning July 1, 2025, you can buy a day pass ticket for unlimited travel across all Metrolink lines at $15 weekdays, $10 weekends! Note: Be careful, please check the Metrolink schedule to see whether the trip is worth your time for waiting at the Union Station for nearly two hours on the way back to the Northridge Station. For example , when I arrived at the Union Station at 2:45 PM, I found the next available train to the Northridge is at 4:30 PM. That's a challenge from LA Metro and Metrolink to attract more riders to take a public transit, instead of driving.

If you've ever been to other train stations you'll be properly confused here because there's only…read moreONE track! I genuinely had no idea I was in the right spot even though they had a sign up that indicated train arrivals/departures. There seems to be ample parking in the area and you can either book your ticket via the Metrolink app or on the self serve kiosk at the station. I believe there are shuttles that take you to/from this station as well since I noticed a ton of students and presumably faculty getting off the shuttle. The train itself is pleasantly clean and air conditioned, which was a nice change from the weather outside. The bathrooms were also very spacious and clean. I was on a double decker plane so I naturally gravitated to the second level. It was pretty empty despite it being a weekday afternoon around 4-5 pm and it was quiet and peaceful. I was able to get from Northridge to Union Station in considerably less time than if I drove there. Overall, please take public transit whenever possible! This even takes you to Burbank airport! It's a fun and quick ride and so much better than sitting in traffic. (35/100--2024)

Instead of doing such a simple and important task they continue with their unbelievably long and puzzling construction building/digging up nothing on top of nothing.

Welcome to the northwest valley, home of the Chatsworth Metrolink Station where you can also…read moreconnect with tons of local city buses via LA Metro, Simi Valley Transit, Santa Clarita Valley Commuter Express, Metro G/Orange Line (that connects with the Metro B - Redline), Amtrak and other services as well. This Metrolink station has loads of free parking, charging stations for EVs, handicap spots for persons with disabilities, public phones for use... An office never seems to be open... Almost like a prop lol as well as plenty of Kiosk to purchase Metrolink rider tickets and maps to guide you on your journeys... The mobile app is definitely your friend as well. It's never too busy here, which is nice, even being on the directly next to the Orange line station hub, the lot traffic, if any is always smooth and steady off Devonshire Street/ Canoga Avenue, just across for an amazing Anytime Fitness, Ralphs, Dollar Tree, Paint with A Twist (paint & sip spot) and a few other familiar as well as local small businesses in one lot... plus a Holiday Inn Express just past the intersection. "Come on, ride the train, hey, ride it... Choo choo!!"

The new $349 million dollar busway that links Woodland Hills with the North Hollywood Metro Rail…read morestation needs work. Sure, this weekend was the first public running of the "superliner" buses and it was a free ride weekend. The crowds turned out to give the "bus that rides like a train" a spin. After several weeks of dry runs you would expect fewer kinks. We boarded the 60 foot long bus at the Warner Center Transit Depot and then waited for 10 minutes for the tech crew to figure out why the doors would not close. After we got underway I set my timer. The political propaganda promised tax payers a 14 mile trans-Valley trip of less than 30 min. The Metro guides say 42 min. The actual time 68 min. (less a 5 min wrangling when a wheelchair got tied up in the safety belt system) the return trip took 58 min. The majority of the trip is on a "bus only" roadway free of car traffic. The Metroliner does have to stop at several of the 36 signal controlled intersections and the wait seems longer than normal. Considering this is an all new road surface, the ride was awfully choppy. From the center flex point of the bus there is no view of outside and apparently the air-conditioning doesn't work either. Many people were complaining of the warmth inside. I moved closer to the front and felt a nice cold blast of air. The sideways seats SUCK! You sit above the wheels and have a limited view of where you are going or the multi million dollar landscaping installed along the busway. On top of that you have to step up and let your feet dangle over the edge. It is a chore trying not to kick people standing in the isles. There is no announcement of stops like on SF Muni system. So if you are the unfortunate passenger that has no outward view there is a chance you won't see your stop. On a good note, lots of people turned out to ride today. Maybe some will become regular riders and hopefully we will indeed see some traffic relief on US 101 because of this new route. I just wish LA leaders would look at SF and try a little harder to find a better mass transit solution than buses that act like....well buses.

The Orange Line is one the Valley's best way to cut across the valley. Ever since its opening in…read more2005, it has saved a lot of time and stress. The Orange Line would connect the West Valley to all of Los Angeles County. Orange Line's First and Last Stop is Warner Center Transit Center in Woodland Hills. Warner Center Transit Center/Hub is located on Owensmouth and just near the Westfield Promenade. Orange Line times will vary on the day/time There is only one Ticket Vending Machine. I thought there was two before, but they have removed it or I am just imagining it. Warner Center is a hub for all other Metro Lines to meet in Woodland Hills. There will be an expansion to the Orange Line coming very soon. I am not sure if Warner Center is still the last stop since the Orange Line Extension will move north. Once a while, I get on the Orange Line to grab a movie at AMC Promenade 16. Just let someone else handle the driving and stress. For $1.50 one way or $5 Day Pass, its still much cheaper to get anywhere in Los Angeles than buying $4 per gallon gas. Yelp is My Review, My Story, and My Life. Its time to share it.

This is by far the easiest way to get to the Hollywood Bowl. You can purchase tickets online at…read moreTicketmaster for $7 (plus fees it is more like $10) or in person at the lot for $12. Beware, they only take exact change at the lot. Shuttles start about 2 1/2 hours before the concert starts and the last shuttle leaves at the concert start time. They leave every 20 minutes or so. If you buy your ticket online, you don't have to be exact with your departure time. They will let you leave earlier or later. The only part of the shuttle that sucks is that you have 25 minutes after the concert ends to get to the shuttle. You have to walk in the huge crowd of people all headed in the same direction. Go through the tunnel under the marquee and take the second exit because the Chatsworth shuttle is parked right where you exit the tunnel. Overall, though, this is a great way to go to the Bowl and avoid the stacked parking and traffic.

Pretty popular destination station in the city of Tarzana off Reseda Blvd, just a beat away from…read morethe city/neighborhood of Reseda, California with a couple of connecting services in all directions. Reseda Orange (G) Line Station has wide platforms and multiple kiosk for purchasing Metro Tap Cards for riding metro.

You connect to the 240 - Northridge/Reseda/Devonshire, the LADOT Reseda/Northridge Dash (at Sherman Way), and 422 Commuter Express (at the on ramp for Reseda Blvd on the 101 FWY). The Metro G - Orange Line as well as Reseda Station is one of the few 24/7 routes for Metro Lines with more frequent service during the day every 5 to 15 minutes and less frequency after 7pm (every 15 to 30 minutes).
