Universal City/Studio City, formerly Universal City, is a rapid transit station on the Red Line of the Metro Rail in Los Angeles, California. Serving Universal Studios Hollywood and City Walk. Universal City/Studio City station straddles the hills between the Los Angeles Basin to the south and the San Fernando Valley to the north.LocationUniversal City/Studio City station lies within the Los Angeles neighborhood of Studio City, specifically at the intersection of Lankershim Boulevard, Campo de Cahuenga and Universal Terrace Parkway. Just southeast of the station, across the Hollywood Freeway (U.S. Route 101) is the Cahuenga Pass, which is arguably a neighborhood as well, consisting of a strip of shops, restaurants and offices that follow US 101, but along Cahuenga Boulevard, which parallels the freeway through the pass.Universal City/Studio City station serves the nearby Universal Studios theme park, as well as the NBC Universal studio complex. Riders can cross the street and board the tram to go to City Walk and the theme park, as well as the Studio itself. A pedestrian tunnel was originally proposed by Metro but was ultimately scrapped because of Universal's reluctance to pay the growing costs of the project.
