Metrolink Offering Special Service for Rams Vs. Cowboys Playoff Game

Metrolink and Los Angeles Metro are offering special Saturday night service for fans attending the Los Angeles Rams playoff game, officials announced Wednesday.

The Rams and the Dallas Cowboys will face off at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at 5:15 p.m. Saturday, with Metrolink offering $10 round-trip fare that night on the Antelope Valley, Orange County and San Bernardino lines.

While fans going to the game can get to Los Angeles' Union Station using Metrolink's regular Antelope Valley, Orange County and San Bernardino line service, three trains will depart from Union Station at 10 p.m. to get fans home.

Special late-night service on the Orange County Line will operate only as far south as the Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo Station.

Metrolink riders transfer at Union Station to the Metro Red or Purple lines to the 7th Street/Metro Center, before taking the Metro Expo Line to the Expo Park/USC Station.

The Metrolink App can be used to purchase the $10 Weekend Day Pass to avoid lines at platform ticket vending machines. All Metrolink tickets and passes allow for a free transfer to Metro Rail; no additional Metro TAP cards need to be purchased. Mobile tickets are transferable to Metro Rail via optic readers at turnstiles.

On the Red and Purple Lines, Metro will operate six-car trains with trains running every six minutes in downtown Los Angeles. Metro's Silver Line is also available to provide express bus service between San Pedro, downtown Los Angeles and El Monte.

Passengers are reminded to load their TAP cards in advance to avoid waiting in line. Metro Day Passes are $7. Or, fans can purchase TAP cards at TAP vending machines at all Metro Rail stations or from a Metro representative at the station.

Metrolink paper tickets or mobile tickets are valid for free transfers to Metro Rail lines.
