Ugh.

Apparently a monthly Metrolink pass is on the order of a hundred dollars. That's $25 a week... granted, in my car, that's cheaper than 450 mile worth of gas, but it also doesn't look like there's a single pass that would get me all the way from Claremont to Long Beach. The Metrolink (etc) webpage isn't very clear about how much gets you where...

And having used it for a while, I can say that the Blue line is slower than it should be, as it has to deal with traffic. (At times, it stops and waits for lights before crossing streets.)

You'd be dealing with a fucking long commute from Mudd to Long Beach. Call it an hour (at least) from Mudd by car, and probably more like 1.5 - 2 hours by public transit. You'll really exhaust yourself going the public transit route, and car would be pretty tiring, too. If I were you, I'd look at getting something at least for during the week closer to Long Beach. Try the routes of course before you decide, but bear in mind that if it does take you 2 hours both ways, that makes a 13-hour day from leaving to getting back. That's doable, but not pleasant at all.
