LOS ANGELES — For the first time since 2020, LA-area commuter rail operator Metrolink will offer early-morning service for those planning to attend the Rose Parade in Pasadena, set for Jan. 2, 2023. Trains will be just $10 with a special Holiday Pass.
Trains will operate to LA Union Station on the Ventura County, Antelope Valley, San Bernardino, Orange County, and 91/Perris Valley lines, offering connections to the Metro L (Gold) Line light rail service to Pasadena. All trains will reach Union Station by 7:15 a.m., and will offer free transfer to the light rail service with time to reach Pasadena before the start of the Parade.
“I’m thrilled that Metrolink is able to once again support this beloved annual tradition by providing early-morning service for people attending the parade,” Metrolink CEO Darren Kettle said in a press release. “By taking Metrolink to L.A. Union Station and using our $10 Holiday Pass, riders can connect for free to Metro, avoid traffic gridlock and enjoy a safe and affordable trip to the event.”
Details about the schedule and pass are available at this page on the Metrolink website.
