Transportation - Hotel 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 blue sign that says "FlyAway Busses". Wait until a FlyAway Bus with sign "Union Station" arrives (it departs every ~30min). 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" (Caltech or Vagabond Inn) or "Allen Station" (best for the Saga Motor Hotel). Check out google maps for further info. Here's a link to Metro Gold Line, including a link to this trip planer (it also knows about FlyAway busses).

Transportation - Workshop walking distance, directions.
Food options Chandler's on campus, Ernie's food truck (times), restaurants on Lake, anything on Colorado.
