Too much stress - on me and my car. So, I began looking at other commuting options. The train seemed to offer the most advantages. For one, riding on Metrolink gives you a glimpse of a Los Angeles you just don't see from those clogged freeways.
Some sights are unforgettable for other reasons.
It was a striking image - one I'd never have seen from a car window. If, like me, you have children waiting to pounce on you at the end of the day, you'll look forward to that relaxing 50- minute train ride home in the evening as a chance to recoup the energy you need to fulfill your parental responsibilities after a hard day's work. There are other benefits, too. I've made friends on the train, HSC employees whom I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet at work. Of course, there is a downside to commuting by rail.
