I'm not sure about the extent of demand for Glendale to Burbank and Pasadena. Being part of a metro area heavy rail might make more sense (Ventura to San Bernardino) but I don't know that trains every 20 minutes are needed. Could be wrong.
A cross SFV line into the SGV is too far away to imagine right now.

Definitely wrong about the need for a Pasadena Glendale Burbank Line. the Tri-Cities as they are called, are very much linked together and almost function as one. I think Glendale needs rail on Brand/Central until Glenoaks, to a lesser degree on Broadway and Glendale ave, Burbank needs rail at the media center and Downtown and Pasadena needs a local Streetcar. Once that happens, there would be heavy usage in those cities.
Dont forget that the Tri-Cities together are a major office center and are home to many jobs and about 500,000 people.
