By Rail: Buena Park is linked to several Orange County cities and Union Station in downtown Los Angeles via Metrolink, a network of commuter rail service. The Metrolink train system serves a 6-county area in Southern California and interfaces with Amtrak. As a result, it is possible for visitors to Buena Park to arrive by train.

From Oxnard in Ventura County to Oceanside in San Diego County, Metrolink trains stop at all Amtrak stations. It is important to note that Amtrak trains do not stop at all Metrolink stations. Orange County cities served by Metrolink include Buena Park, Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, and San Juan Capistrano.

Public Transportation
While Southern California is generally not known for having efficient public transportation, die-hards will find it possible
to move around using Metrolink trains, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) buses and Metropolitan
Transportation Authority of Los Angeles County (MTA) light rail and buses.
From Buena Park, OCTA Bus #29 takes visitors from the Buena Park Metrolink station to the attractions on Beach
Boulevard, then to Knott’s Berry Farm, and all the way to Huntington Beach in a bit over an hour. Mickey Mouse fans can
take public buses and go directly to Disneyland from Knott’s Berry Farm via MTA #460. Trip time is approximately 20
minutes and the frequency is approximately every half hour, depending on the time of day. In addition, MTA #460 stops at Norwalk Station, the connecting point to the MTA Green Line (light rail). From there riders can take the Green Line to join
the Blue Line and head south to Long Beach and the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Queen Mary, and picturesque Belmont
Shore by connecting to Long Beach Transit service in Downtown Long Beach. Taking the Blue Line north will lead to
downtown Los Angeles, and from there a connection to the Red Line will transport stargazers to Hollywood and Universal Studios Hollywood. Downtown Los Angeles serves as the hub for MTA buses to Beverly Hills and other points of interest
in Los Angeles, and Union Station is the primary hub for Amtrak and Metrolink trains.
