From LAX to Pasadena
There are many possible ways of getting from the airport to Pasadena:
- - Taxi (~$100)
- - Super Shuttle (~$40)
- - FlyAway Bus + Metro Gold Line (~$9 in total)
At any terminal at LAX, you will find departure platforms for all of the above
transportation systems just outside the terminals.
The FlyAway Bus + Metro is usually very convenient. To get on it, just wait by the green sign that says "FlyAway Busses". Wait until a FlyAway Bus with sign "Union Station" arrives. Jump on it and go until Union Station (its only and final destination). You pay $7 upon arrival (they have change if you don't exactly have $7). At Union Station, go to the platform that says "Metro Gold Line". Pay $1.50 at the ticket machine (one way ticket). Take the Metro Gold Line (direction "Sierra Madre Station") and exit at "Lake Station". Check out google maps for further info. Here's a link to Metro Gold Line, including a link to this trip planer.
Additional Information
There will be coffee & pastries in the morning and afternoon. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide or pay for lunch/dinner.
