Covina station is served by 44 Metrolink San Bernardino Line trains (22 in each direction) each weekday, with trains arriving every 30 minutes for most of the day, and every 60 minutes in the early morning and evening. Weekend service consists of 16 trains (8 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday, evenly spaced throughout the day. [4]

The station is owned by the City of Covina. It is one of the few Metrolink stations that charges for parking (on weekdays only, for parking is free on the weekends).

[7] The station proved valuable as a freight depot as it was in the vicinity of several fruit packers. [6] : 52 

The new Metrolink station opened with the service on October 26, 1992. [8]
