Media Capital of the World
Burbank is a thriving, 17-square-mile city with a population of a little over 100,000 residents. The City is an internationally known destination because it is home to many major entertainment organizations, including Warner Bros. and The Walt Disney Company.
There are Over 250,000 People in Burbank During Work Hours
Burbank’s population more than doubles during work hours, with the majority of those employees driving single occupant vehicles to and from work.
What’s good about congestion? It’s the sign of a robust economy. It’s a great time to be here in Burbank, and we’re all excited about the new development that’s coming. But it is also going to mean more people and traffic, and we want to be smart about how we deal with all of it!
Using Transit is Easy in Burbank
As a result, easing congestion and providing effective transportation options has become a priority for the City. Burbank has three popular train stations serviced by Amtrak and Metrolink, the Burbank Bus system, and many Metro lines, including the popular Metro Line 501 which connects via an express bus from North Hollywood to Pasadena. In the future, we’ll also see improvements to the I-5 Empire Interchange, Bus Rapid Transit between North Hollywood and Pasadena, a streetcar that connects Burbank to Glendale, and more active transportation options with bike share and an improved bike path network.
