How can I get back to the Northridge Metrolink Station during the mid-day when the free shuttle is not running?
Passengers are advised to use the DASH bus to access the train station. The nearest stop for DASH is the southwest corner of Reseda Blvd. and Nordhoff Street. DASH stops there every 10 minutes on time points that end in "8". (Example: :08, :18, :28, minutes after the hour.) The DASH route is not a direct trip from that location, so please allow 25-30 minutes of bus riding time to get to the station for your train.
