INLAND EMPIRE – San Bernardino and Riverside County residents can ride the Metrolink free for 90 days through IE Commuter’s “Experience Metrolink” program.

Experience Metrolink is designed to introduce more people to Metrolink service.

“Whether you are commuting to work or exploring southern California, Metrolink provides a relaxing way to travel,” said Riverside County Transportation Commission chair Karen Spiegel.

Metrolink operates the San Bernardino Line, connecting Downtown Los Angeles to San Bernardino, with some services extending to Redlands via the Arrow service.

In Riverside County, Metrolink serves several lines:

The Riverside Line connects Riverside to Los Angeles Union Station and other stations in Los Angeles County.
The Inland Empire-Orange County Line serves Orange County.
The 91/Perris Valley Line operates between north Orange County and south Los Angeles County
