Hollywood Burbank Airport is in Burbank, north of Rosemead, and offers taxi, rideshare, rental-car and public-transit connections. For a direct trip, a taxi or rental car avoids the transfers involved in building a transit journey; the airport’s connections do not give a complete itinerary to Rosemead.

Where is Hollywood Burbank Airport, and how far is Rosemead?
Hollywood Burbank Airport is at 2627 N. Hollywood Way in Burbank, while Rosemead is the destination farther south. The airport provides several ways to leave the terminal, but it does not give a single airport-to-Rosemead travel time or a complete route for the trip.
The airport connects with local buses and trains, but reaching Rosemead by public transport requires planning beyond those airport connections. For a separate airport comparison, the LAX-to-Rosemead transportation options cover another route into the area.
Which driving and taxi options go to Rosemead?
A taxi, rideshare or rental car can take you onward from the airport without relying on a bus-and-train connection. Taxi cabs and shuttle services use the ground-transportation islands immediately in front of the terminal. The rideshare pickup point is on the ground-transportation island in front of the main entrance to the parking structure.
The airport names United Taxi, LA City Cab and Beverly Hills Cab as taxi providers. Its phone numbers are 213-483-7694 and 213-483-3215 for United Taxi, 888-248-9222 for LA City Cab, and 310-273-6611 for Beverly Hills Cab. Contact details can change, so check the official site before you go.
If someone is collecting you by car, the terminal curb is not a waiting area: vehicles may not wait there. The airport directs people waiting for a passenger to the Short Term Parking Structure, where posted parking rates apply.
How do transit connections work from the airport to Rosemead?
Public transit from Hollywood Burbank Airport begins with connections at the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center (RITC) or nearby rail stations, but no complete airport-to-Rosemead itinerary is specified.
Metro Bus and BurbankBus stop on the RITC’s ground level. The airport also identifies additional Metro Bus stops on Hollywood Way and Empire Avenue. BurbankBus connects the airport with Metro’s North Hollywood Station on weekdays; Metro’s B and G Lines serve that station.
Service patterns vary by time of day, with BurbankBus running approximately every 15 minutes during peak commute hours, every 20 minutes midday and every 45 minutes in the evening. A free weekend shuttle runs between North Hollywood Station and the airport; the airport advises calling 818-558-3179 for current times.
Metro Line 266 runs between Lakewood Center Mall and Sierra Madre Villa Station via Rosemead Boulevard and Lakewood Boulevard. It serves Rosemead Boulevard, but the route information does not establish the transfer stops needed for a full trip from the airport.
The El Monte Station transit guide can help you understand a local transit connection, but it does not supply the missing airport-to-Rosemead itinerary.
Rail is another airport connection, rather than a confirmed direct route to Rosemead. Burbank Airport–South station is on Empire Avenue and serves Metrolink and Amtrak; cross Empire Avenue to reach the RITC.
Metrolink requires valid tickets on its platforms and trains, and fares vary by distance traveled. Burbank Airport–North station is at San Fernando Road and Hollywood Way, with a complimentary airport shuttle to the terminal.
Where are airport pickups and rental cars?
Rental-car pickup and drop-off are consolidated at the RITC, which has 10 rental-car brands and more than 1,000 parking spaces. On-site providers are Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Fox, Hertz, National, Payless and Thrifty.
For a rental-car return, use the Avenue B entrance, accessible from the Hollywood Way or Empire Avenue airport entrances. To reach the rental-car customer-service counters from the terminal, use the stairs or elevator next to the Valet Center, then cross the elevated walkway. There is no escalator access on the terminal side of that walkway.
What should you check before planning your arrival?
Transit schedules, shuttle operation and contact details can change, so check the relevant operator’s official site before setting out. For Metro and BurbankBus connections, consult LA Metro; for airport pickup, rental-car and shuttle details, consult Hollywood Burbank Airport. Metrolink and Amtrak schedules and fares are available from their respective operators.
For the hotel leg, Hollywood Burbank Airport is about a 52-minute drive from Bokai Garden. Keep that as a separate planning reference: the airport-to-Rosemead trip and the hotel-to-airport drive are not the same route.
