Metrolink passenger train fares rise in Southern California

The rare price increase has drawn pushback from frustrated passengers grappling with financial strain, especially amid high gas prices and ongoing calls to curb carbon emissions. The hike left policy experts warning of structural pitfalls in California’s public transit model. The SoCal Day Pass went from $15 to $19 on weekdays and $10 to $12 on weekends and holidays.
