Riverside–Hunter Park/UCR station is a train station in Riverside, California, United States,[2] that opened on June 6, 2016, along with the 91/Perris Valley Line extension of the Metrolink commuter rail system.[3] [4] It is located in the Hunter Park neighborhood of Riverside and about north of the campus of the University of California, Riverside, after which the station is named.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7]
