    The only thing I don't like about LA Union Station is there is no metro lounge for sleeper car passengers.

    Park underground at union station for $6 and save on parking. Then take the DASH to wherever you need to go for $0.25

    If you don't want to pay the outragous prices for food inside union station, try the taco truck located at the of the metrolink rail tracks.

    Sheriffs officers are always out during rush hour. Give them a dirty look and tell them to go fuck themselves

    The rail to rail would be great if Metrolink and Amtrak made even the slightest attempt at coordinating schedules.

    Despite it being 2011, the parking lot here does not accept any sort of cards as payment. They do, however, accept checks. So, I guess bring your checkbook.
