Ventura is Only a Train Ride Away
by Sing Weist
Traveling can seem overwhelming especially when you have to plan which days, times, and routes will help you avoid traffic. For many individuals who live throughout the cities surrounding Los Angeles, driving Monday through Friday and even the weekends can seem challenging and daunting. With bumper to bumper traffic, distances as short as thirteen miles can last anywhere between 30 minutes to one hour. It would be incomprehensible to consider driving 65 or more miles north when you might hit traffic on the 101, 118, 5, 134, and any other surrounding side streets and interstate freeways. However, traveling can be made extremely simple. You can enjoy a weekend getaway in Ventura, without the hassle of driving! Your solution is easy, take the train. Individuals living around Los Angeles can take the Metrolink to Ventura located at 6175 Ventura Blvd. A weekend day pass is $10.00 per person. The Ventura Metrolink is five miles from San Buenaventura State Beach and only six miles from downtown Ventura, which offers a plethora of shops, bars, food, and much more!![Ventura is Only a Train Ride Away Ventura is Only a Train Ride Away](https://visitventuraca.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/19529121334_10a496df9f_k-1024x683.jpg)
