Downtown Burbank station is served by 20 Metrolink Ventura County Line trains (ten in each direction) each weekday, running primarily at peak hours in the peak direction of travel. On weekends, four Metrolink Ventura County Line trains (two in each direction) serve the station. Metrolink passengers also have access to four Pacific Surfliner trains (two in each direction) each day through a codesharing arrangement with Amtrak.[3]
History[edit]
The Southern Pacific built their line north of Los Angeles to Burbank by mid-1873.[4] The company rebuilt the station in 1927. That building was destroyed in a fire in 1991.[5]
The modern station opened on October 26, 1992 with the inauguration of Metrolink services.[6]
In 2020, the Burbank City Council approved an extension of the Chandler Boulevard Bike Path to the station along a route that will include the under-construction Burbank Channel Bikeway[7] and a connection to the San Fernando Bikeway.[8]
The North Hollywood to Pasadena Rapid Bus Line, currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2027, will stop at Olive/Lake, nearby, but not at, the station, due to safety concerns regarding the existing Olive Avenue bridge. [9][10]
