New Online Ticket Purchases Available To Some Rail Commuters On South Coast

Ventura County commuters who use Metrolink now have an easier way to get tickets.

The commuter rail service launched a new online ticket web portal, so you can buy them in advance instead of at a machine at a station.

Commuters can buy and print tickets at home, just like you do from concerts and sports events. The tickets you buy and print out have a bar code which is then scanned by the train’s conductors.

Metrolink’s online portal offers the purchase of one-way tickets without transfers. Transfers to other system will require you to buy separate tickets.
