<p>hey,</p>
<p>does anyone know the fastest way to get from ucla to uci and vice versa? thanks.</p>
<p>Does anyone also know the fastest way to get from UCLA to Oceanside or the Inland Empire? Thanks!</p>
<p>one of my friends asked about ucla and uci too haha. are you danielle? haha.</p>
<p>no...i'm a guy</p>
<p>UCLA to oceanside by public transport?</p>
<p>Try the train to union station, switch to the subway, and then take the bus to campus.</p>
<p>dyip10, how long does that take including the walking?</p>
<p>If it's a semi-regular trip, try the UCLA vanpool. If irregular, take the bus (try Big Blue Bus or MTA) to Union Station, then the train (Metrolink to Orange /Riverside/San Bernardino/Ventura County or Amtrak to Orange/San Diego/Ventura County). I know it isn't a short trip- my sister takes the train/bus to UCLA from UCI every few weeks and it takes her about two hours.</p>
<p>bfired2, thanks! do you think you can ask your sister what the exact route she takes and how much it costs? is the UCLA vanpool a program at la? do they take you directly to uci and is it free?</p>
<p>For info about the vanpool check out this site: <a href="http://www.vanpool.ucla.edu/students/commuting/vanpools/%5B/url%5D">http://www.vanpool.ucla.edu/students/commuting/vanpools/</a> It should all the info you are looking for. </p>
<p>I asked my sister and she takes the Metrolink from Irvine to Union Station, then the Red Line to Vermont/Sunset (MAKE SURE YOU GET ON THE RIGHT RED LINE, THE ONE TO NORTH HOLLYWOOD! There's another Red Line to Wilshire/Western and I got on that one by accident once. From that rail station, take the MTA Bus 2 (doublecheck on mta.net) to UCLA. From UCI to Union is about an hour, about $8. From Union to UCLA is almost another hour, bus fares depend, but I would just get the $3 daypass to avoid confusion with transfers and such.</p>
<p>From Oceanside to Union Station (2 hours)</p>
<p>Subway (~30 mins), Bus (30 mins to an hour)</p>
<p>I took the station from Orange County to Union Station took me about an hour. Including bus and subway took me around 3.5 hours (because traffic was worse than usual, I could probably get there in 2.5)</p>
<p>From Oceanside to UCLA with train/subway/bus I'm guessing it'll take 3.5 to 4 hours.</p>
<p>I didn't like the bus part. :(</p>
<p>thanks you guys</p>
<p>Yes, thanks, it seems likes it's going to be a little difficult, but we'll have to figure something out.</p>
<p>You can always go to Santa Monica and catch a blue bus to UCLA from there.</p>
<p>Metrolink goes to Riverside and other places in the Inland Empire.</p>
<p>I know there's a stop between LA and Anaheim... too bad the new rail system won't be done for another couple of years.</p>
