Metrolink to Raise Fares About 4%
Metrolink is set to raise its fares about 4% beginning Saturday.
A round-trip train ticket from Simi Valley to Los Angeles will climb from $10.50 to $11. A round-trip ticket from Oxnard will jump from $16.75 to $17.50.
The fare adjustment is the second 4% hike of three increases scheduled over four years. The higher fares are designed to provide more money for service and equipment improvements.
Any group of 10 riders, traveling at non-peak hours, can receive a discounted rate if reservations are made at least three weeks in advance.
In the past year, average daily ridership on Metrolink’s six routes has increased by 13% to almost 32,000 people, the agency said.
