Burbank Airport–North station


Burbank Airport–North is a Metrolink rail station in the city of Burbank, California. Passengers on the Antelope Valley Line, which travels between Lancaster, California and Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, can connect with the Hollywood Burbank Airport. The station is located near the intersection of San Fernando Boulevard and Hollywood Way and a free shuttle bus facilitates trips to the terminal located from the station site. Metrolink ticket holders can also ride the 94 and 794 buses between the station and the terminal for free.
The station was given the name Bob Hope Airport–Hollywood Way during planning, but the name was changed prior to opening.
