What would the commute be like if one lived in Fullerton CA and worked in Riverside CA?
I know a lot of people do the reverse commute (live in Riverside and commute to Orange County). So what would the reverse be like? Is there still bad traffic? Any thoughts and information appreciated.

Answer 1 :
Grew up in Riverside and now live in Menifee. You are right-most go the opposite way-I used to drive to Laguna to the Art School. My husband to Irvine (Marine) and then later down south to San Diego (try 1.5-2 hours to work for 15 years) I think you would be just fine-its actually opposite the traffic run for most commuters. The best way to judge unfortunately is to drive it at work time on any given weekday-either morning or eve. Good luck! we all need it in So Cal! Between gas and time we get minimum wage no matter how much we make!
Answer 2 :
You could drive to Anaheim and then take the Metrolink train directly to Riverside. It would be faster than driving. You may want to look into that. But even driving won't be too bad, by LA standards anyway, lol.
Answer 3 :
It's not too bad by Calif. standards, except on Friday. Outgoing traffic is heavier as folks are leaving town early usually.
Answer 4 :
It's better to go from Fullerton to Riverside than the other way around. Hundreds of thousands of people go from the Inland Empire to Orange and Los Angeles counties every morning. Way fewer go the other way. That being said, traffic is getting worse all the time. The problem now is that you have to pass the 241 toll road if you take the 91, and thousands of cars dump off that highway on to both directions of the 91, east and west.
Answer 5 :
you could drive to the Orange (not Anaheim station) metrolink station and take Metrolink to Riverside
