Riverside–Hunter Park/UCR station

Riverside–Hunter Park/UCR is a train station in Riverside, California, United States,[3] that opened on June 6, 2016, along with the Perris Valley Line extension of the Metrolink commuter rail system.[4][5] It is located in the Hunter Park neighborhood of Riverside and about 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the campus of the University of California, Riverside, after which the station is named.[6] Despite being named after UCR, there are no buses between the campus and this station. Instead the university recommends that students use Riverside–Downtown station and take Riverside Transit Agency route 1 to campus.[7] Original plans for the extension called for a station adjacent to the campus, but the plan was scrapped after local residents raised concerns about parking and noise.[8]
