Tickets & Pricing
Tickets are not sold onboard the train! Ticket vending machines and ticket validators are located on Metrolink train platforms. Please purchase a ticket before you board the train and present your ticket to the fare inspector on request. Passengers without a valid ticket are subject to citation and fine.
Metrolink fares are calculated with a distance-based formula using the shortest driving distance between stations, with an 80-mile maximum charge for Monthly Passes. To find out exactly what the price will be for your trip, check out our Price Finder.
