Metrolink's MLK Day Deal

If your plans for Monday include a ride on Metrolink--to work, to play, or to do something in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day--the transit agency is offering a great deal. In a first-of-its-kind promotion for them, Metrolink is inviting ticket holders on Monday to bring a guest with them to ride for free. (You guys have to ride together, though!) This promotion is offered exclusively on Metrolink trains and does not apply to transfers on LA Metro, OCTA or any other transportation providers.
