Planning a trip from Azusa
The Azusa Metro stations guide covers Azusa Downtown and APU/Citrus College. From Stardust Motel Azusa, Azusa Downtown station is about 4 minutes by car; from there, take the A Line toward Long Beach and transfer at Union Station to the B Line toward North Hollywood for the Hollywood area.
For local orientation before setting out, get to know Azusa’s central area.
You can pair that local orientation with the Azusa city centre guide. Plan the Azusa-to-Hollywood journey separately from the museum visit, since the museum’s published details do not include driving or public-transport directions. The A Line runs between Pomona and Long Beach, and the B Line between Union Station and North Hollywood.
