Burbank Airport-South, referred to as Hollywood Burbank Airport by Amtrak and formerly known as Burbank-Bob Hope Airport, is an unstaffed Amtrak and Metrolink rail station at Hollywood Burbank Airport in the city of Burbank, California. It is served by both Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner from San Luis Obispo to San Diego and Metrolink's Ventura County Line from Los Angeles Union Station to east Ventura. The ten Pacific Surfliner trains that serve the station daily and 29 Metrolink trains that serve the station each weekday connect arrivals from the airport to downtown Los Angeles' Union Station in about 30 minutes. Amtrak's Coast Starlight which travels between Seattle, Washington and Los Angeles also stops here.
A free airport shuttle transports passengers to and from the terminal area during the airport's operating hours, although the station is a short walking distance from the terminals. Metrolink operates some trains as shuttles from the Hollywood Burbank Airport station to Los Angeles Union Station with intermediate stops at the downtown Burbank and Glendale stations.
Of the 76 California stations served by Amtrak, Burbank was the 28th-busiest in FY2017, with 73,814 total passengers.
