Is a combination feasible?

Yes — but accept tradeoffs. Universal deserves half to a full day; a HOHO pass helps you reach Universal without a car.

Timing

Use an early HOHO loop to reach Universal before park opening to maximize rides.
Consider buying early-entry or Express passes to reduce wait times.

Ticket bundles

Look for packages that bundle HOHO passes with Universal transfers or discounted entry; compare total cost vs. buying separately.

Bottom line

Combining works best when you prioritize either a focused Universal day or a half-day city tour — not both fully in one day.
