Know "Y" U Need 2 Know About the El Toro "Y"

There is much congestion in Irvine, especially during the morning when much of 9-5( ish) workforce come into this business central to start the day. Many cars merge at the ElToro "Y", where the 5 and 405 meet . Expect slow up dreadfully from about 6-8 AM and 4-6 PM , Monday through Friday!!

Arrive here via Amtrak

Irvine is one stop for both Amtrak and Metrolink train services, thus, making it very accessible. Though not one of the best looking stops (I like to visit particularly attractive, charming train stations :-) , I just thought to mention that Irvine is a rather convenient stop for train travel.
