There are eight lines and 69 stations in the Metrolink system. The lines go to different cities and neighborhoods in the Greater Los Angeles area. All lines, except the Inland Empire–Orange County Line, stop at Union Station. It is the major transit station in Los Angeles.[4]
Some Metrolink train lines have stations at popular event locations, such as the Pomona Fairplex.[5] Those stations are open only when events are taking place there. Most lines (except the Riverside Line) run on both weekdays and weekends.[6]

To ride Metrolink trains, passengers need to pay the system's fare (ticket). Metrolink's fare includes a fee for riding the train and an additional cost based on the distance traveled. The extra charge goes up by 25 cents for every station the train passes.
Tickets can be bought at a Metrolink ticket vending machine. Machines are at every station. Passengers can also buy them on Metrolink's website and mobile app.[7]
