Although Metrolink fares are high in comparison to other transit service,
they are about half that of Amtrak fares, or driving.

All fares include a free transfer to local transit services. Transfers
from local services are worth $1 towards Metrolink fares.

Holders of round-trip, ten-trip and monthly tickets are entitled to free
transportation on any local transit route directly connecting to a
Metrolink station. One-way tickets serve as transfers from Metrolink to
connecting local transit service.

At press time, SCRTD, and various local transit services are coordinating
connecting transit services with Metrolink.
