While I wouldn't say it's perfect (the terminating C Line Trains are cause confusion, esp among those unfamiliar with the system) I think it does an overall good job. Once the LAX AirTrain opens that will solve most of LAX's issues Landside wise as the shuttles are a mess still.

Wow okay, LAX Metro TC. Honestly very impressed fixes the mess that was Aviation/LAX + City Bus Cntr. Honestly this might be my new favorite station in the system, it's just very pleasant. I really liked the greenery and seating options in the bus plaza in particular, plus REAL Bathrooms.

Metrolink has announced that the Student Adventure Pass will permanently conclude on June 30th. I'm truly disappointed as this was nothing short of an amazing program encouraging Public Transit among students. Unfortunately, the program's end is not a suprise given the state of transit funding.

For future reference this is how you'd Insert a US Plug into this type of outlet. Looks more confusing than it actually is. Imo this should be more common on Transport vehicles, makes things more accessable to everyone.

Also flew in/out of BUR again. Honestly really convenient to get to with the current Metrolink Weekday schedule with timed transfers between lines at Union Station.

Like I didn't really know what was going on here? It would occasionally show a random concert with Chinese subtitles?? Seems like an error. Also the announcements still referenced the lines by color oddly. I'm assuming this is just a bug leftover from testing.

Got on the new Metro D line trains. Overall a nice upgrade from the current fleet although there were a few bugs I noticed that will probably be worked out soon enough.

🚅 --> 🛫 Really made so much easier with Metrolink's new schedule. Irvine to Burbank Airport (Distance of nearly 50miles) done in an hour and a half via the timed transfer to the VC Line at Union Station. This journey quite wouldn't have been previously possible, or at least way more difficult.

And here's a tight turn around San Bruno Mountain, never seen this right of a turn after a 1L take off at SFO. On the SFO > SoCal routes I've been on usually this turn is slightly wider. Made for a pretty view though!

Here's a clip of the take off which was surprisingly quiet compared to the 737-800

Welp back off to school again, Not going to miss SF too much considering I'll be back next week. Here's some pictures from the flight back down to OC.
This was my first time on a MAX and my first time on United's mainline product since 2018. To say I was impressed would be an understatement.

Honestly really Impressed with how the United Airlines app will give you directions to local transit at your arrival airport. Going so far to include the SamTrans to Caltrain xfer is auctually crazy. Normally not a huge fan of airlines but thought was clearly put into this
