New combination Metrolink and OCTA pass goes into effect July 5 as more rail service heads to Orange County
June 30, 2011
ORANGE – Beginning Tuesday, the Orange County Transportation Authority is launching OCLINK, an innovative and convenient pass that allows riders to hop on trains and buses throughout the county.
Available on July 5, the OCLINK Pass provides unlimited weekday rides on all buses and Metrolink trains throughout Orange County for $7 per person. In addition, as part of its Metrolink expansion program, OCTA is adding six more trains throughout the day.
“We are excited to be able to provide residents and visitors an easy, affordable and fun solution to seeing all that Orange County has to offer,” said OCTA Chair Patricia Bates, also the Fifth District Supervisor. “It is now possible to head to the beach in San Clemente, make a stop in Old Towne Orange and attend an Angel’s game in a single day with one ticket.”
Beginning July 1 for a limited time, Metrolink also is offering the All-Weekend Metrolink Pass for $10 per person. This pass is good to ride for an entire weekend, starting from 7 p.m. Friday evenings until midnight on Sundays.
The All-Weekend Metrolink Pass includes everywhere Metrolink travels throughout Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
More trains will be added to the expanded weekend service with four additional seasonal round trips on the Orange County Line and one new seasonal round trip on the Inland Empire-Orange County line.
