Metrolink Commuter Trains
RIVERSIDE (CNS) – Inland Empire residents who haven’t tried Metrolink and want to see how far and fast commuter trains might take them throughout the region can obtain free passes as part of a new promotion, officials announced Tuesday.
The Riverside County Transportation Commission has partnered with the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority to inaugurate “Experience Metrolink,” which features complimentary tickets that can be used anytime within a 90-day period from the date of acquisition.
The tickets are good for rides anywhere in Southern California originating from the IE, according to the RCTC.
“With Experience Metrolink, more residents can discover the convenience of passenger rail and experience firsthand how the service can fit into their daily routines,” County Supervisor Karen Spiegel said.
The program is intended to expand ridership aboard Metrolink commuter trains and offer residents an opportunity to find out what alternatives there are to driving, officials said.
To sign up and receive comp tickets, parties should visit IECommuter.org/RideFree, where they can establish an account and receive passes via the Metrolink mobile app.
“Commuters using Metrolink for work may qualify for additional incentives through IE Commuter,” according to the RCTC.
In addition to the web portal, residents are welcome to call 866-743- 3742 for more details.
