All About Metrolink

Metrolink was formed in 1991 and is operated by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA). SCRRA has five member agencies representing the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura. OCTA funds and operates all Metrolink rail services in Orange County, including 11 stations and 42 round trips every weekday on three lines:
- Orange County (OC) Line — with daily service from Los Angeles Union Station to Oceanside
- Inland Empire-Orange County (IEOC) Line — with daily service from San Bernardino to Oceanside
- 91 Line — with daily service from Riverside to Los Angeles Union Station, via Fullerton and Buena Park
Metrolink Weekends service was introduced in 2006 on the OC and IEOC Lines, so you can also enjoy weekend entertainment, family activities, shopping and dining without the traffic and parking hassles.
