For only $10, you can ride wherever Metrolink travels all day either Saturday or Sunday. The $10 Weekend Day Pass is available for purchase through all TVMs on Saturday and Sunday only.

  4. Check for the track number at stations with more than one track. Some stations serve more than one train line so check the electronic sign in the exterior window of the passenger car before boarding. This sign indicates the final station stop for the train and should match the station indicated as the final stop on your timetable. Please stand behind the platform line for your safety.

  5. The conductor will announce each station prior to arrival. After exiting the train, use your Metrolink ticket to ride many connecting buses, shuttles and rail lines for free! For a full list of free transfers, visit metrolinktrains.com
