Metro station... oh you sweet summer child. You know what public transit is available near the Meta campus? Maybe, and I mean maybe, a bus stop to get on the homeless express across the bay.
I'm a little sad. My last studio was literally next to a Gold Line station here in Los Angeles. I could bike to the Gold Line and make it to work, and the Gold Line ran frequently and late.
My current job is a mile away from a Metrolink station. On the one hand - at least there's a nearby station! On the other hand - the Metrolink trains are running the wrong direction for me, I'd need to make a connection at LA Union Station, and the latest one that goes the direction I need it to go (while still allowing me to make my connection) leaves at 5 (which is still considered core working hours for me).
The schedule is like... impressively bad. I'd use it if they ran it later, but they don't seem to think anyone could possibly be headed in any other direction other than "towards LA" in the morning and "away from LA" at night.
