It's located near Balboa Park (behind it)... Across the street from a strip mall plaza of foodie as well as personal care service spots such as Stop In Donuts, Box Thai Street Food, Glamour Nails, Alpha & Omega Hair Studio, Taqueria Juanitos and Purple Haze to name several... And is also diagonal from Birmingham Community High School (high school of Sally Field and Lucy Arnaz to name a few). Balboa station can lead you to several businesses nearby on foot, bike, scooter, Metro LA city busses or car as they have their own parking lot at this station. Usually never too busy of a stop as Reseda Station or Van Nuys Station. Bus path walkways that connect pretty far down heading west or east. Load your tap card at one of the kiosk on either side and go + be prepared for next time.

Currently under renovation as they make improvements to expanding the Metro system in Greater LA…read morethis Metro G - Orange Line Station is now running along Oxnard Street at the intersection with Van Nuys Blvd. The Orange Line is a double line bus that run above ground in the San Fernando Valley much like the Metro J - Silver Line in Downtown/San Pedro/El Monte. With the entirety of the Van Nuys Station being under construction access to parking, public restrooms and kiosk to purchase, reload or check tap cards is non-existent at the moment. Hoping to see big changes and innovations in the coming years 2026/2027 which is when this stop is set to resume its normal pathway through Orange Line Busway.

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.

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.

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)

He was making sure anyone who needed a lift to the train via golf cart got it and was able to get accessible seats if needed. I asked where to go to get on the train, and he walked me outside and gave me detailed directions. Station is clean and I felt safe. It's a short walk from the station to where you board the train, but as mentioned before, they offer golf cart rides to those who need help. Now that I've had this experience, I am looking forward to taking the train more often! I bought my ticket online prior to my departure and they scanned it on board. Easy peasy!

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. It's near so cool local spots like Garden Wok (vegan/vegetarian Chinese food), LA Dance Sport Club and Petite's Place to name a few. 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). So plan accordingly. Note: Reseda Station also has free parking on the east or west bound sides.

I really love the Winnetka and Canoga Park area. It is a really beautiful part of our city. All stops also have benches were you can sit while you are waiting for the bus. Entering the bus is mostly empty and you can find a seat for the most part. The Orange Line is also well maintained and very clean. It passes often well at least when I needed it and it keeps true to the schedule with no delays. When you step into the bus and on the road you will mostly see beautiful suburban homes and a lot of empty fields. Coming from the big packed part of the city, I really enjoyed the view of the empty fields and mountain areas. The bus driver and passengers were overwhelmingly nice for helping me with directions. An area filled with nice people and bus staff.
