    METROLINK NEWS & EVENTS • JUNE 2008 (800) 371-LINK • www.metroLINKtraINs.com Metrolink Ticket Vending Machines Now Sell Amtrak Tickets In case you haven’t noticed, Metrolink TVMs now have the ability to sell Amtrak tickets. This is the result of a partnership between Metrolink, Amtrak, and Caltrans to fund and install this capability on TVMs throughout the Metrolink system and at Amtrak stations from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. Installations are complete at all stations,* and the TVMs have a new “Buy Tickets Here” sign as well. Now, passengers have a new level of convenience to purchase both an Amtrak and a Metrolink ticket to complete a trip that uses both services. Just use the Metrolink/Amtrak TVM now available at all Metrolink stations and at most Amtrak Pacific Surfliner stations.* * Installation at the Carpinteria and San Clemente Pier stations and Amtrak 10-trip-ticket availability will take place at a later date. (continued on page 3) Metrolink and Amtrak passengers can also continue to enjoy the benefits of the Rail 2 Rail program. Metrolink monthly-pass holders still travel for free on any Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains or buses within the origin-and-destination pair of their passes, including on weekends. Amtrak Pacific Surfliner ticket holders can also ride any Metrolink train within the limits of their tickets at no additional charge. All Metrolink and Amtrak tickets continue to be valid on either service between Bob Hope Airport in Burbank and L.A. Union Station as Construction & Maintenance Update long as those two stations are within the trip limits of the ticket being used.
