WhereDaily News: New Metro Gold Line Station in Azusa Brings Convenience, Ease to Rosedale Resident's Commute & Lifestyle
AZUSA, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2016) - Easy proximity, dependable convenience and a stress-free commute are just some of the benefits residents in the award-winning master-planned community of Rosedale are touting about the new APU/Citrus College Metro Gold Line Station. Sunny Hsia, a Rosedale homeowner since December 2013, is one of the many people taking advantage of this great new lifestyle advantage, leaving his car keys at home and commuting to work via the Metro Gold Line. Just a three- to five-minute walk from his home within Rosedale, the new station opened in March 2016 and is part of an exciting 11.5-mile rail-line extension that offers an alternative to the 210 freeway, taking commuters between Azusa and Pasadena with ease. "Before the Gold Line Station opened, I would drive to work every day and had no choice but to deal with the stress of traffic," he explains. "Now that the Metro Gold Line station is open, I walk five minutes to the station, hop on the train and my commute is cut down to about 25 minutes. With the set schedule and dependability of the ride, it's just a more relaxed experience." Sunny works in Arcadia -- one of the six new Metro Gold Line stops, which also includes Monrovia, Duarte/City of Hope, Irwindale, Azusa Downtown and Sunny's station, APU/Citrus College.
