You could get a bus to LA Central or Hollywood and take the train out to Burbank, then a cab to the studios, but the locals are probably better able to advise.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 WB is nowhere near the tar pits. Getting to WB via public transportation, even if possible, would require at least a couple of transfers and could possibly take QUITE a long time. Also, it's not like Universal in which you can arrive any time. They have a set schedule for tours, you have to reserve in advance I think, and if you miss your time - tough luck! I think you'll pretty much have to rent a car if you want to do it. Although you could call their reservation line directly to ask about public transporation options, if any.
Originally Posted By seanyoda If they still have a shuttle between the Disneyland Hotel and Universal Studios, I'd take that, and then catch a cab to the Warner Bros studio tour building at 3400 Riverside Drive. For public transit options, you can take Metrolink from either Anaheim or Fullerton (Fullerton is easily reachable by the northbound #43 Harbor Blvd bus) to Downtown Burbank. When you get to Burbank, catch the Burbank Bus Metrolink-Media District shuttle and get off the bus at the Warner-Avon stop and walk to the tour building at 3400 Riverside Drive.

You could also take the Red Line to North Hollywood and catch the Burbank Bus noho-Media District shuttle and get off the bus at the Riverside-Hollywood Way stop.
