Metrolink

This commuter system is quickly becoming one of the nation's largest commuter rail networks. LA Basin traffic congestion and earthquakes have helped this system develop. There is service on some lines during mid-days and weekends. After driving in LA in March 2004, I'm not sure why daily commuters in the LA region do not take more advantage of its rail systems.
