Palm Springs to Universal Studios via Metrolink? - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums

lindaswain · March 28, 2009, 06:43 PM

I'd like to avoid weekday rush hour traffic & get to Universal Studios around 10 a.m. We would drive to San Bernardino or Riverside, park, catch an 8:?? a.m. train to LA Union Station ($40 r/t for 3), transfer to the Metro Red Line. Is this a reasonable plan? Is there a better way to get from Palm Springs to Universal Studios via public transportation?

You need to check the return schedule as the Metrolink trains don't run late. It will probably take more than 2 hrs.

I've not riden this myself, but I LOVE these sorts of trips. It sounds fine to me, but yes check the return schedules as you don't want to get stranded.

That sounds like a great plan -- trains are consistent, not dependent on traffic snarls like the buses. Budget time for your return, or spend a night at Universal City, as there's a lot to do on Universal Walk as well.
