Paying for your train ride.
Metrolink fares are based on where you start and end your trip using the shortest driving distance. For example, your trip from Fullerton to San Juan Capistrano would be more than your trip from Fullerton to Irvine. To determine your exact fare, you can use the handy fare calculator.
Seniors and persons with disabilities receive 50% off regular weekday fare. Metrolink is also family-friendly, with children ages 5 and under riding FREE with each fare-paying adult (limit three children per adult).
All Metrolink stations have ticket vending machines (TVMs) to make ticket purchasing easy. Remember, you must have a valid ticket before you board the train, and must show your ticket to the conductor when requested. If you do not have a valid ticket, you will be subject to a citation and fine.
