The Transit Coalition is working on doing this for some other lines, so why not on this one? The rush hour service is okay, but midday is awful. At one point there is a 3 hour gap in between trains. Does anyone else agree with me?

Hehe, I thought I would get a different response here. Ferney might not intrude and say that I'm anti-rail.

San Bernardino Line has the best schedule of all Metrolink; riders of other Metrolink lines that would be jealous of the SB line; at least until the OC bumps up their service in two year.
I know of someone who lives closer to the stations for the Riverside and 91 Lines but only uses the San Bernardino Line because of the scheduling.

Except for mid-morning, the San Bernardino Line has service that meets or exceeds the Red Cars that ran on part of its route (east of El Monte). I think the original idea for the off-peak trains was to provide a way home for commuters who have to leave work early, and if someone had to leave work in the morning they probably would have stayed home in the first place. 34 trains a day is rather amazing when you consider that 15 years ago there were none. Further increases will probably have to wait for more cars and more passing sidings.

Well, because of that, I can't get to work unless I drive, and due to that, I am forced to drive back through traffic. Getting back isn't the problem, it's getting there that's troubling me.

I have to travel to Rancho Cucamonga for the next 2 weeks. Per the SB line schedule, there is a 3 hour gap between 6:05 am to 9:03 am on trains leaving Union Station. The earliest I would get in is 7:16 am or 10:14 am. I need to show up to work between 8:30 to 9:30. No train makes this convenient for me. How is this possible? Why is there a peaktime gap of 3 hours between 6 am to 9 am? I guess I have to drive. This is very unfortunate.

Yeah, I don't know why the gap ? It must be a maintenance or track switching issue. I know it can't be the freight rail, because it's a dedicated ROW for Metrolink. I guess you can take the 6:05 train and get there at 7:16. Then take a nap on a station bench for an hour ??

I don't know if this would work or not and I don't know where your final destination is, but if you're willing to spend some extra time on the morning commute in exchange for not having to drive (and you can catch up on your work, readings, or your sleep), take the 7:01AM Silver Streak bus from LAUS to Montclair ($2 fare). You'll arrive at 8:15AM; transfer to the 8:30AM RTA Line 204 bus and get off at the Ontario Mills Mall (8:50AM) which is about 3/4 of mile south of the Rancho Cucamonga Station ($2.25 fare). Again, I'm not sure if this will work. If it does, when you go home, take Metrolink.
