Back of the napkin math say that amounts to 1 hour 49 minutes, plus another 6-10 minutes for transferring between trains.

Although to be quite frank, I'm not sure why anyone would want to make that trip on Metro Rail. A four-hour round trip just to go to the beach? Count me out.
Yea. After reading some of the replies, I can see why it wouldn't make too much sense. Transferring once doesn't sound too bad, and I wouldn't expect alternating trains to be exactly 50/50 coming from Azusa. Maybe 3:1 or something like that based on demand, but seems like the cons outweigh the pros in this situation.
