I tried the Metrolink Perris Valley LIne roundtrip to the Riverside Downtown Station and it is great. The trains are smooth, efficient, and dreamy way to get to Riverside and back compared to reducing ones lifespan as a result of stress from driving. Yes, the train takes about 20 minutes longer than driving the same route without traffic. During heavy traffic you will save at least 20 minutes and your sanity and sky's-the-limit accident liability that come with driving. If one were to live near one of these stations, one could save $3,600 to $7,200 per year to not have a car. This can be done if one resorts to using trains and Uber and Lyft. Trains in both directions arrived at station stops on time. Trains have restrooms, a bicycle car, allow food and drink, and a quiet car (no loud conversations and great for getting a nap). These trains will help parents get home to their families in a more relaxed and happy demeanor. This will help parents be more awake to help kids with their homework and/or just have more family time. Back in the 1990's when the Metrolink San Bernardino Line opened there were very few passengers riding the trains, but now the San Bernardino LIne is hot with frequent trains, early morning trains, and evening trains. The only reason I rate this line four stars is because it seems that a later train leaving Riverside Downtown is needed to attract more riders. The last train is currently at 6:55 pm from Riverside. Again, other than that, the Perris Valley LIne is a good deal. read more
