METROLINK

TIMETABLES

Each line has both a color-coded Timetable folder and a Station Map folder.
The timetable lists the times at stations and a fare matrix. The Ventura
County Line timetable also lists Amtrak Intercity service. The Station Map
folders show a map of each station and also parking, platform and
connecting service. The Ventura County Line folders are a dull green, Santa
Clarita Line folders are light orange while the San Bernardino Line folders
are grey. In addition, the METROLINK COMMUTER'S GUIDE lists
information about fares and how to use the Ticket Vending Machine,
connections to and from Metrolink with phone numbers, additional safety
tips and courtesy rules, and a map of Metrolink (appropriate until mid-1993)
and a map of L. A. Union Station which has some minor errors.

TVMs (Ticket Vending Machines) are located at each Metrolink Station.
There are 3 at LAUS. There are directions to follow in English or Spanish
to guide a passenger through the selections of the 3 types of fare
categories (Adult, Child/Student & Elderly/Disabled), then the 6 types of
tickets (One-Way, One-Way Transfer Upgrade, Round-Trip, Round-Trip
Transfer Upgrade, 10-Trip Ticket or Monthly Pass) then finally the
destination of the trip. Tickets are only available from the originating station
to the destination station, you can not purchase a ticket from any other
station. TVMs accept coins and bills up to $20.00, with change given in
coins. Credit and debit cards will be accepted in a few months.

Route B to Financial District/South Park which depart from the track level.

service with Metrolink or OCTA (Amtrak from Orange County) Media.The
RTD also has several lines that now loop at the track level which will accept
Metrolink fare media but not OCTA media. Also, the many routes that serve
LAUS at the street level will also accept Metrolink fare media.
