Location

Riverside–Hunter Park/UCR station is a train station in Riverside, California, United States,^[3] that opened on June 6, 2016, along with the 91/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]

Riverside–Hunter Park/UCR station is served by 10 Metrolink 91/Perris Valley Line trains (5 in each direction) each weekday, running primarily at peak hours in the peak direction of travel. Weekend service consists of 4 trains (2 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday, running westbound in the morning and eastbound in the evening.^[9]
