Metrolink Offers Free Holiday Passes

Road-weary holiday shoppers can trade in their car keys for free train passes and hop aboard a special Metrolink train to Los Angeles on Saturday.

Hoping to increase commuter interest, the rail service is offering two morning trains from Moorpark and Simi Valley and one afternoon train returning from Los Angeles.

Metrolink is also offering free 10-ticket passes and half-price monthly passes, both good during December. The free pass is available to all county residents.

Passes can be picked up at the Metrolink office at 950 County Square Drive in Ventura or ordered by phone at (800) 438-1112.
