Metrolink offering free rides on Friday for Earth Day

by The AV Times Staff • April 20, 2022

Local residents can celebrate Earth Day on Friday, April 22, by riding Metrolink for free, officials announced.

Metrolink, which runs throughout Southern California, with stops in Lancaster and Palmdale, will provide free rides all day on Earth Day.

“Taking the train for free this Earth Day is a win for both riders and the environment,” Metrolink CEO Darren Kettle said. “With free rides and a new expanded schedule to get everyone where they want to go, we hope people will make a little change in their travel routine to have a larger impact for air quality in southern California.”

Metrolink trains are available in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and north San Diego counties.

On Friday, April 22, riders can board a Metrolink train for free at any station throughout the six-county area for transportation wherever Metrolink trains travel. Riders are also invited to visit Metrolink’s Earth Day webpage where they can make a #takethetrain pledge to be entered to win a Monthly Pass and try Metrolink’s Personal Impact Calculator to see how leaving the car behind makes a great ecological impact.

    Good Day LA reported this morning that crime and violence has increased 30% on the Metrolink so enjoy the free ride and the increased crime and violence.

    It might be safer to just say no thank you

      Is Metrolink suggesting that riders carry weapons illegally and shoot the homeless if they try to rob you like the mayor of Lancaster has suggested?

      I read this is where Texas got the idea to send illegals to Washington

        FWB, that may be true. Can we find a way to send Wrecks and Marv to either Texas or Washington? Anywhere but here. I know Wrecks really lives in Laguna but he comes back to the AV to load up his ATM card.

        For the record, the people that the Texas dingbat used Texas taxes to provide transport to the Fox News offices in Washington as a stunt entered the country legally.
