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.

I found myself at the Fillmore Gold Line Station as the meeting point for a FREE bus shuttle ride for a recent event, the "YEE: San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino". This was my first time here and was absolutely unaware of this station. Finally, I began using the Metro on a regular basis, so I was very much a virgin of the many stops. Although I simply parked here this time, would this introduction somehow lead me back for more!?: Sandwiched between Raymond Ave. and the 110 S. Arroyo Parkway, vehicle entrance was available on Raymond Ave. only. The closest main throughfare was Fair Oaks Ave. a mere two blocks away. Along Raymond Ave. was the onsite Lovebirds Café & Bakery for a drink coffee, pastry, or smoothie fix, across the street was Jones Coffee Roasters for caffeine fiends, and Pie Life Pizza for a heartier meal...just to name a few. Across the tracks along the 110 S. Arroyo Parkway was Gotta Java for more caffeine addicts, My Vegan for some healthy fare, and Sushi Ichi for raw fish...also just to name a few. Hop on and explore eastward towards Azusa, or take it into Union Station in Downtown L.A. to continue towards East L.A. or transfer to either the Purple or Red (the Blue and Green Lines, respectively, connected from the Purple/Red Lines) Lines which took you to various parts around Los Angeles county https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5-d384Roi4MwWvz1-URW9Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Service - Ummm...you pulled up to the ticket machine, selected either "public parking" or used your TAP card for "Metro", found a spot (there was another driveway arm on Levels 4-5 for Metro users that required a TAP card to pass through), either took the elevator or stairs to the ground floor, and off you went on your way. When you returned, you did the exact reverse. But in the case of non-Metro users, you paid before you exited the structure. Easy-peasy! Parking (Varied; $12.00 All-Day this instance) - This was a five-story structure where Levels 1-3 were for public parking (240 spaces; $12.00 maximum) and Levels 4-5 were for the Metro (160 spaces; FREE). Conveniently, there was an electronic sign that showed how many Metro parking spots were available. Sadly, I left my TAP card at home and was stuck with being charged. I noticed a nearby pay lot that "quoted $5.00" but unsure for how long. And, it appeared there may've been other parking options in the area. But I basically said "eff it" and bit the bullet. Lesson learned for the next time... Atmosphere, décor, ambience - A tall spacious metal covered structure with viewpoints from every level and plenty of both natural and electric lighting guided you through. The station itself was an above-ground track that ran between the backside of businesses, had covered waiting areas on the platform, and was in very close proximity to a couple places for a quick drink or snack. There were no TVs (except for schedule monitors) nor background music (the whiz of the train was rather melodic). Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the Fillmore Gold Line Station with its relative proximity to a few places I frequented, as well as others I wouldn't mind trying. Its location was a healthy walking distance to the Huntington Memorial Hospital and other medical facilities, so this was an ideal spot for commuters who worked in the area. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $12.00; no tipping required). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Seriously what can you get for a quarter these days? There are two routes: the Green Line and the Blue Line. Stops are clearly marked along the routes...just look for the blue ACT signage.

But a few notes. First, the Amtrak Thruway buses do not board there, but rather on the west side of Union Station, near the Starbucks (the signage is very vague in this regard). Second, the FlixBus boards across the street, at the Vignes lot at 501 N. Vignes at Cesar Chavez Ave. MegaBus does use the transit plaza. The FlyAway buses to LAX are convenient, and leave on or at the top of the hour, using the carpool lanes all the way to LAX. Even if you drive, you won't get to LAX faster, not to mention parking, gas, and so on. The new Foothill Transit bridge to the Silver Streak boarding area on the south end of the plaza is nice, but also has poor wayfinding signage. There's a Denny's within walking distance directly across from the plaza on Rameriz Street if you get hungry before your connecting bus.

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.
