There are a lot of TH-cam people trying to do what you do, but nobody comes close in variety, quality and likability. Thanks for keeping your channel fresh and interesting. Subway go-go.
I don't think you understand the amount of anxiety this video had lifted off my shoulders with my upcoming disneyland and Universal Trip. THANK YOU
I'm from Europe and I have to say it's probably the ONLY video I've found about someone offering a public transportation or walker / non driver walk-through to get to a theme park. Thank you!
Chris - FYI why you didn't hear the "clickedy clack" and the ride is so smooth: This is because most track with any significant traffic is now continuously welded rail. Instead of the rail being an insane number of 39 foot plugs that are all bolted together, rail comes from the shop in 1482 foot strings and these strings are then welded together. This allows for greater train speed due to the smoother ride.
Cool to know, honestly ;)
0:13 Just an FYI. For the hotel you were at a Lyft over to Anaheim ARTIC Station for the Metrolink would have been a shorter and cheaper ride than Fullerton.
Also if you ride Metrolink instead of Amtrak the Physical ticket can transfer on to the Red Line for free once you hit Union and the ticket itself is cheaper than Amtrak.
I ride public transit a lot and even take the redline to work myself :)
We did this a month ago!!! And we also used the ART on demand feature from our hotel for two people to the ARTIC!
Anaheim has 2 different metrolink stations, Anaheim Canyon and ARTIC
Good to know. Thanks
Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner also stops in Anaheim near Angels Stadium, so if you're at Disneyland or staying near the park there's a bus that can take you across Katella to the RTIC (Anaheim regional Transit Intermodal Center).
With the Surfliner: if you are disabled, the lower carriage has a large bathroom that can accommodate an electric wheelchair. If you're going up top- a regular coach seat is all about availability. It's first-come-first-served. But, the Business Class has a reserved seat. (It doesn't have a seat number, but your seat is guaranteed).
The subway card is $2.00 and the fare to ride it $1.75. So, when you buy your card for the first time with a one-trip fare it's $3.75.
Walking up the hill to Universal is kinda brutal if you're not ready for it. Take the shuttle and walk back down.
You can also get a virtual TAP card through the app. My Mom and I rode the train from the Chatsworth Station to the Anaheim station and back for a day at the Disney parks. We got off at the Anaheim station, went across to the ART Center and caught the appropriate shuttle to Disneyland. It dropped us off right up front by the stroller rental.
Yeah, I was wondering why Chris didn’t just leave out of the ARTIC station in Anaheim 🤔 I believe that the ART Shuttle to and from the park is free with your train ticket.
@@SweetCarolineS Your shuttle ride is free. All you have to do is show the driver your train ticket.
Never knew about this choice subway go go...yep London, Paris, Rome ,Tokyo, New York, and DC. and a few more.
Be careful riding the Metro Red Line (subway) at night. Be sure you head the right direction! And don''t accidently board the Purple Line, which share a few stations. There tend to be a lot of transients in the subway stations and on the subway trains. Last time I rode, one transient had smashed a bottle on a fellow transients head. Blood and a mess all over the platform. Luckily two police officers arrived to deal with the mess. Haven't been on the Red Line since.
Keep your eyes open and Stay safe!!!
p.s. - Subway Go Go
Yeah. I grew up in Los Angeles and I am fortunate enough to have never been on any public transit there. LA is simply not a safe place for most people to be riding trains and buses, in my opinion.
In Chicago, Boston, etc I’ve had no issues with subways or buses because it’s much more common for people from all walks of life to use those modes of transit.
Is it safe to ride in the day?
@@MeganmamaI grew up in LA and have ridden public transit since I was in junior high and have had no problems. You seem paranoid.
@@johntovar89yes, it is safe, but be smart too and you'll be fine.
We took Amtrak from central California up to Portland Oregon a few years ago to see our daughter graduate from culinary school. I agree the ride was very smooth. They loaded me up in my power wheelchair and it was smooth sailing from there. It was SOOOOO nice not having to worry about traffic and just being able to watch the view. If you haven't tried it, I fully suggest doing so!
Same for us French. Cuz it’s relaxing and not stressful. Just look out the Windows and enjoy the view
Im from Paris France and Ive been taking the metro since I was kid
Cool fun video. Good example of how to use public transit in LA with a little bit of planning. Well done.
Glad you liked it!
Even though I’ve taken the red line to universal many a time and the metro link almost every holiday to visit family. It is still cool to see it through another person’s POV. Shows that LA has public transportation.
Subway go go! Tokyo's metro system is a sight to behold, and I wish we had such an extensive system like that here in the states. You can pretty much go anywhere in the city by train. Super convenient, efficient, and clean!
Thank you for highlighting public transit in one of your episodes. I'm a transit nerd as much as a Disney one, and I always appreciate when the two merge together.
What's sad is that the usa used to have a better system than Japan's. Our rail system from the 1920s are still unmatched by the rest of the modern world system. The car industry bought all of these transit systems and destroyed them so we had to use cars. In fact, this is the reason LA has so much traffic, it was designed for trains and electric rails! It's sad but we can totally do it again.
Subwaygogo. I love Subways. I used to ride it in São Paulo to go to school. So, whenever I have an opportunity to ride the train and Metro in the OC/LA area, it brings so much nostalgia and sense of freedom.
I've always been scared of public transportation. Thanks for sharing all that and making it look 'not scary', haha.
You were in our neck of the woods! Great coverage on public transportation. We enjoyed learning more about you. Don't shut the door on Zeros. So many networks out there now... We can't wait for your full tour of USH 😎
You should do a trip from Disneyland to Knott‘s Berry Farm. It’s only a one quick bus ride. MTA’s route 460 gets onto interstate 5, then exits at the 91 Junction. From there it travels about 1.5 miles to Knott’s. Total commute time about 31 minutes.
-The Disneyland Neighbor
Unbelievable 🙌 the day I decided to add a Universal Studios Hollywood day to our Disneyland Resort Anaheim stay you literally enforce our decision with this video 😅
Do yourself a favor. Though it’s a little more expensive do the universal VIP tour. So worth it.
Yeah I also watched Adam the Woo s Vlog yesterday and this is definitely an option to consider 🙌
@@laurentscholtes8770 we did the tour in 2019. It was more than his highlights. So worth it.
Hehehe glad that you enjoyed taking the public transportation like subways. Washington DC London, UK and my capital Paris, France
If you have a valid Amtrak ticket, you can ride ARTIC for free straight to the Anaheim Amtrak station which is only a 5 minute bus ride from the Disneyland resort. I live in LA and have debated taking the train down to Disney many times and your video may have convinced me to finally try it! 35 minutes from Fullerton to downtown is great!! Anyone that has taken the 101 to the 5 to Disney knows that it can take upwards of 2 hours on a bad day in traffic.
Metrolink looks like it’s also going to LA at this time of day, Metrolink is about half of the price of Amtrak. Maybe not as luxurious but still works just as well :) by the way! I love seeing you taking the train! I do it every week!
Metrolink is the commuter line.
What a clever idea. Good job PPP! Useful information that isn't a repeat of everything already covered 😊
Subway GOGO!!! I have had the good fortune to ride subways in Toronto, Montreal, London ,Paris and Athens its a great way to get around and really get to know a city!!!!
Great tips! We’ve taken the Metrolink from the Inland Empire to Union Station, then to Universal. So much better than driving! Also, at Union Station, is the Flyaway Bus that takes you to LAX, so convenient!
I have no idea what makes this video so enthralling to watch.
Maybe it’s the genuine excitement and wholesome experience.
Either way, great video!
Subway go-go
New York
London tubes
On the NJ transit trains, they also say “mind the gap” at every stop!!
Another fun vlog! Thank you! ❤️
SUBWAY GO 🇬🇧 GO! London Underground, baby!!! Thank you for showing us the LA area transit! Awesome info 😁❤️
Thank you for this! I am in Los Angeles almost once a month and I never look forward to the drive from Disneyland to Universal and then from Universal to my sister's. I've taken public transportation a lot! Especially to and around San Francisco! And I've mentioned doing this a few times but have yet to do it so I am now inspired to follow through. Thank you!
So, did you finally ride the LA public transportation?
We did! We have actually taken it a few times now since this video. Union Station was a lot to get used to and then we just trained out of Anaheim Amtrak station. We also took the bus from Union Station to L.A.X. which was awesome. Public transportation once and then the Fly Away bus. We'll be back to using it again next weekend.
@@minglewiththecringles So it was safe? Me and the family plan to be down in a couple of weeks, we are staying at universal studios but thinking about taking public transportation to Disneyland. But I don't want to take public transportation it's not safe
Thanks
We have felt 100% safe. We do not have small children with us but we are parents and had used public transportation when the kiddos were little throughout San Francisco, Sacramento and in the Disneyland area. Personally We feel that it is a wonderful experience for kids. I would just try to do your traveling in the Hollywood area during daylight, have plenty of phone charge and a portable charger on hand just incase and have your route laid out. Have so much fun!
FYI Chris it’s called the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner but it’s a great job you took the train keep it up 👍🏻 Walt would be proud
Subway Go Go! I've ridden the subway and Metro in LA, NYC, Philly, Boston, DC, Chicago, SLC, SF, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Taipei, Tokyo, Paris, London, Madrid, and Barcelona! I love trains!!
Subway GoGo! Another fun video, and I am envious of how far you got with your TV pitch!
Very helpful and informative Chris. Once Nintendo World opens, a whole lot more Disneyland fans will make the trek to Universal to go check it out.
Subway Go Go! London and Paris loved riding them such a great way to get around😊
Subway go go! Seoul, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco. Love these vlogs Chris!!
yes! I was planning a trip to universal using the metro, now I know about the tram up the hill, how cool! Thank you!
Subway Go Go...technically.... I rode on Seattle's under ground bus line, back in the early 90's.
Thanks for the nice video overview of how to get to Universal Hollywood!
Short female here and I did this in November 2021 SOLO. Amtrak from San Diego to LA, Red Line to Universal City, spent half a day at Universal Studios. On my way back I got off at the Amtrak Anaheim station, took a ride share to Disneyland, spent the rest of my day/night there. Took the last Amtrak back to San Diego. Yes, it was a LONG day but so fun. It was my first time ever taking Amtrak and Metro. Felt safe the entire time but the Metro can be sketchy so just be vigilant and alert and you should be fine.
This was awesome! I always fly into SNA when I go to Disneyland, stay near Disneyland, and never rent a car. This year I purchased my first Universal Studios AP. It took us just under two hours to drive there on my last visit. Now I can hardly wait to try this option. I love public transportation information it just seems so much more efficient, is always adventure, and allows me to feel less like a tourist. Thanks Chris!
Thank you so much for this video. It's exactly what I needed for planning my upcoming vacation.
YES!!!! I would love to see the pilot! I understand it would be hard to watch. But how cool for you to have done that!
Subway Go Go! I commute through the Link Light Rail to work in Seattle three days a week. The rest of my time is focused on TH-cam. Our subway is outside most of the time but it does go through a few tunnels and underneath the Westlake Mall. It runs from Angle Lake To Northgate, WA
Subway ago go. New York Subway in the 80's and 90's.
In Glasgow, Scotland, the subway is called the “U” (underground) and it smells like Pirates of the Caribbean
Subway go go, Chicago, San Francisco, and London. That's all I can think of at the moment.
SubwayGoGo!! Lives in NYC for a year. Lives in Queens, commutes to Brooklyn on the #7 line. LOVED it!!
Subway Go Go ! I wasn't expecting those groovy shoes!
Some so glade to see how you guys came I been here since day one. You guys are amazing and full of joy!!!!!!
Subway Go Go. I live in the Los Angeles area and have done the same public transit trip as you but from the Gold Line , Pasadena area to Universal Studios. The RedLine can be a bit shady but overall fun trip
Subway go go. I rode a subway in New York, Taiwan, & South Korea. The subway system in Taiwan & South Korea are very similar. It was super convenient.
Subway a go-go. New york, England, France. Japan and Korea. I need to experience the LA subway.
Subway go go! Love subways and mass transit in general! I used to take trax and front runner every day to work pre pandemic.
Subway Go Go! I've used the subways in London, Germany and Washington DC.
Subway Go Go! Several years ago in Washington DC. I've also been on the EL trains in Chicago several times.
Subway no-no. Lol
But I absolutely LOVE riding Amtrak. Business class provided outlets at every seat AND complimentary drinks and snacks. Beautiful ride (past the beaches, not downtown LA 😅) and so relaxing
I've ridden on trains in a couple different cities, though they were called LRT Light Rail Transit. When I hear subway I think of underground trains, sub being subterranean
This is exactly the video I’m looking for! Thank you 🙏🏻
Subway no-no
Subway go go. I live about 20 minutes away from Universal Studios and we take the Red Line to Union Station in L.A and walk across the street to Olvera Street which is like a little Mexico with lots of food and shops to buy Mexican souvenirs, clothing and candy or listen to music. It’s a fun little day trip. You can also take it to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I remember when I did that in high school. Almost miss my train on the way back lol
Subway Go Go. That same one. 20 years ago. 2002.
I love your tie. Lol here in Toronto we have a subway and the Go Train which is like your Metrolink
Subway go-go! I had a friend who frequent the LA subway at the time and when I came to visit him we actually took the same red line from union station to Universal i had such a fun day and the subway was pretty cool to ride too
Subway go-go. First every for me was in Washington DC. So nice and clean and you are correct on the cleanliness.
Subway Go Go. Tokyo Subway & NYC Subways. Thanks Chris, YOU are "Special."
Beautiful brown skies..... I love LA.
Subway go go. Our family went to New York in 1986 for the Statue of Liberty’s 100th birthday and we rode a few subways in the city. Great memories…
Subway go go! I rode one for the first time in 2019 when we took the kids to NYC 😊
Subway go go. Enjoyed the comments about this segment of our local LA transit system, and transit systems across the globe. I'm familiar with Frankfurt am Main & Berlin Germany. London, UK, Mexico City, MX, Bangkok TH.
I've been wanting to book a trip to Disneyland but stressing over all the travel between universal and disneyland. Thank you for this! It helps so much.
Subway Go Go! I’ve ridden Dallas, NYC, Washington DC, Paris and Munich!!! 😎 Trains too! 🚊
Subway Go Go! I've ridden DC, Chicago, New York, and STL(which is surprisingly scarier than New York)
Subway go go. I've thought about doing this so often, so glad you showed it.
Subway Go Go. I ride the red line occasionally for fun, and I go to downtown Los Angeles sometimes!
SUBWAY GOGO I took a subway in New York it was great fun and I do miss it.
Subway Go Go! I lived in the Chicago ‘burbs for a long time and there’s no better way to go to Wrigley than a train and the EL. It does go underground at some point, so I guess it’s a subway too
Subway NoNo. That was really helpful for those that dont drive.
Subway Go Go! The Tube in London! That is where my Dad is from and when we visit family we always love to ride the Tube! I live in Las Vegas and we have no subway. There is the monorail on the backside of the Strip but it doesn't come out to the suburbs.
Paris Métro is amazing and so easy to use.
Subway go go! We use to take a simi valley bus to the orange line to the red line and take the tram up the hill all thr time when we had season passes and no car.
Subway GoGo!! Washington DC and BART in the Bay Area. AND, on Tuesday, because of your video, from Riverside CA to Universal studios through Union Station and the red line. 💞💕
You and your shoes 👞 👟 shots..🤣🤣🤣 You keep the videos entertaining! 😁
Sadly, Subway No-No. Train travel is my favorite! Sometimes, I have to drive or fly, but train is always my first choice. Thanks, Chris!
Subway gogo. I have been on the subway in London, Sydney & Melbourne. My husband drives trains for Metro in Melbourne 😊
Subway Go Go! I live in LA and I commute on the Red Line (B Line) everyday, couldn’t ask for a simpler commute (most of the time that is)!
Subway Go Go!
I’ve taken one in NY, Paris, and Japan.
I've been on that same subway to go to City Walk/ Universal Studios. Subway Go Go
Subway Go Go! Thanks for this useful video.
Final stop on train Goleta!!! Where I live!!! We usually train to Anaheim but we might change to Fullerton. Last time Anaheim station left us stranded with no way home due to an unmanned station with no announcement for platform changes!!😭😭Poof they left without us!!
Subway a-go-go! I took the subway in San Francisco. I have also taken the Pacific Surfliner to San Diego for comic con! It was great! It took 3 hours that day but I think it normally takes 2. Freeway would have been worse though.
Subway Go Go!
In Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Japan and Thailand 👍
THANK YOU for posting this! I was gonna do the same thing in Sept for Halloween Horror Nights and came across this video. Uber back at 2am, but catch the rail over there since it'll be rush hour. You rock!
Subway go go! You missed the beautiful lobby of Union Station. They film a lot of movies and TV shows there.
Subway go-go! Got some good memories traveling around Auckland, New Zealand; London, England; and from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Singapore. SUPER HELPFUL video, Chris. Will be filing this away for future reference. Thanks for the work you do!!
Subway Go Go! It’s such a convenient way to travel! I’ve ridden on the subway systems in NYC, Boston, Washington DC, Paris and Rome. I agree that the Metro in DC is super clean! NYC and Paris, not so much 😂
I'd love to hear some stories about your time in Korea someday please !! Fun little adventure!
Subway Go Go! They are a lot of fun to ride. Great video might have to try that next time I’m in Anaheim and want to go to a Universal studios
Those trains that were "not your train" were Metrolink. Same tracks, different agency, lower price. I believe they honor Amtrak tickets.
Subway gogo. Great video Chris. I've done the amtrak into Boston the took the T everywhere.
Subway no no. I love the Warriors tie in to the subway. I also think about Crocodile Dundee ending scene as well! Love these “in between” vlogs.
Subway Go Go!
I ride the red line in LA all the time. Not the cleanest, but efficient.
Subway: go go!! NYC many times, and DC twice. Loved DC’s!! Thanks for sharing your fun travels!!
