Exams! Parking! Books! Pizza! Gas Prices! Students already have enough to think about without worrying about how they are going to get to school. Metrolink makes it easy for students to travel to and from school, as well as to do fun extracurricular activities, year-round with the 25% student discount ticket.

So, where will you go…AFTER school, of course?
Metrolink can be used for more than just a ride to school. With access to shopping centers, hiking trails, museums, restaurants, beaches and more, Metrolink is your ticket to explore Southern California, valid on various ticket and pass types.
