Transportation
Light Rail
The Los Angeles Metro Rail system operates daily, generally running approximately 18–24 hours per day depending on the line, with trains arriving every 8–20 minutes on most routes. The expanding rail network connects many major destinations across the Los Angeles region, including Los Angeles, Pasadena, and surrounding communities. Rail service to Pasadena is provided by the L Line (Gold), which links Pasadena with Downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach, and other regional transit connections, making travel throughout the area convenient for visitors and residents alike. LA Metro Transit Maps can be found here.
Directions to Pasadena from Los Angeles International Airport: From the airport terminals, take the free LAX shuttle to the Aviation/LAX Station, where travelers can connect to the C Line (Los Angeles Metro). Transfer at Willowbrook/Rosa Parks Station to the A Line (Los Angeles Metro), which continues north through Downtown Los Angeles. Transfer again at the 7th Str/Metro Center to the B Line (Red) and once again at Union Station to the L Line (Gold) north and onward to Pasadena. The LAX shuttle buses operate frequently and are designed to accommodate travelers with luggage, providing convenient connections between the airport terminals and the Metro Rail system throughout the day. Consider using the LA Metro Trip Planner.
Public Transit
Additional public transportation options in the Los Angeles region include the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus network and local municipal transit services. In the Pasadena area, travelers may also use Pasadena Transit, which operates neighborhood shuttle routes connecting key locations within Pasadena and linking to nearby Los Angeles Metro Rail stations for convenient regional travel.
Rideshare
The Pasadena Convention Center provides convenient locations for rideshare drop-off and pick-up. Designated areas are located along surrounding streets near the main entrances of the Convention Center, allowing passengers to be picked up or dropped off safely and efficiently. Major rideshare companies have mapped the Convention Center and nearby hotels in their apps, which will guide drivers and passengers to the appropriate curbside locations when arriving or departing from Pasadena.
