Metrolink will reinstate service to 24 of the most in-demand lines in Southern California and add two new trains, part of Metrolink's biggest restoration plan since the pandemic began
"We want to become a transit capital rather than a car capital here in Los Angeles," said Dave Sotero, a Metro spokesperson.
"Metrolink is the backbone of public transportation in Southern California as it literally links people from their homes to their workplaces and other destinations -- from the Inland Empire to Oceanside or Ventura, throughout the Antelope, San Fernando and Perris valleys and into Los Angeles,'' Metrolink Board Chair Ara Najarian said in a statement.
In March 2020, Metrolink slashed its schedule by about 30%, responding to a 90% drop in ridership as the COVID virus took hold and stay-at-home orders took effect. But with more workers returning to their workplaces, and with gas prices at record highs, the regional commuter service has seen sharp ridership growth on weekdays and weekends, according to the agency.
