North Hollywood: The Gateway Station
North Hollywood station is the most important interchange on the G Line. The station integrates two separate transit systems: the G Line BRT surface platform on Lankershim Boulevard and the Metro B Line (Red Line) underground platform below. Passengers transferring between the two lines use an at-grade walkway between the BRT platform and the subway entrance, with TAP card readers at the fare gates.
From North Hollywood, B Line subway service reaches Hollywood/Highland in approximately 6 minutes, Hollywood/Vine in 8 minutes, and Union Station in approximately 24 minutes. The combination of G Line + B Line provides a Valley-to-downtown journey of approximately 55–65 minutes from Chatsworth—competitive with peak-hour freeway travel on I-405/US-101.
Station Design and Accessibility
All G Line stations feature: center-island platform design (for bi-directional boarding); off-board TAP fare payment at station entry; level boarding at platform height matching the bus floor (eliminating steps); real-time arrival displays; bike racks and nearby bike paths. All stations are ADA-accessible with platform-level boarding, audible signals, and tactile guidance strips.
The G Line's station design is modeled on proven BRT standards from Bogotá's TransMilenio and Curitiba's RIT systems, adapted for Southern California conditions. The busway corridor also includes a parallel Class I bicycle path for the full length of the Chandler segment, making it one of the most bicycle-accessible transit corridors in the Valley.
