Metrolink 十三年来首次涨价 10月5日起单程票平均上调约14%
南加州通勤铁路 Metrolink 自10月5日起实施十三年来的首次票价调整，单程票平均上调约14%。按机构公布的幅度，接近八成单程票涨幅不超过1美元，涨幅超过2美元的占比不到1%；平日 SoCal Day Pass 升至19美元，周末及节假日升至12美元。
5日灵活票与月票按新的单程票价联动计算，个别乘客的支出可能持平或略降；学生、青年、长者与低收入乘客等既有优惠继续保留。机构称涨价与营运维护成本上升、疫情后客流尚未完全恢复有关。往返洛杉矶联合车站的华人通勤族，出行前宜先核对新票价。
Metrolink Raises Fares for First Time in 13 Years, Effective Oct. 5
Southern California commuter rail operator Metrolink put its first fare increase in 13 years into effect on Oct. 5, raising one-way tickets by about 14% on average. The agency says nearly 80% of one-way purchases rose by no more than $1, while fewer than 1% rose by more than $2. The weekday SoCal Day Pass is now $19, and the weekend and holiday pass is $12. Five-day flex passes and monthly passes are recalculated from the new one-way fares, so a few riders may pay the same or slightly less. Existing discounts for students, seniors and low-income riders remain in place.
