Los Angeles Metrolink's mobile ticketing app, which allows passengers the option to purchase tickets on a smartphone, tablet or other mobile device, is now available for all Metrolink trips, including trips connecting to Los Angeles Union Station.
 
The system-wide launch is in time for Metrolink's Angels Express, where fans can take the train from LA Union Station or Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo to all Angels weekday home games starting at 7:05 p.m. on Metrolink's Orange County Line. For Friday night home games at 7:05 p.m., there is also train service from Riverside on the Inland Empire-Orange County Line.
 
The app, which uses the 6870 Masabi JustRide mobile ticketing system, is available in both Google Play and the Apple App stores and allows passengers to connect to participating bus operators including Metro Bus.
 
Metrolink will introduce improvements to make these options available through mobile ticketing in the future. This fall, barcode readers will be installed on the Metro Rail fare gates, enabling passengers throughout the Metrolink system to buy tickets through the Metrolink App and continue their commute on Metro Rail and at no additional cost. Metrolink is also working with 2008 Amtrak to eventually allow mobile tickets to be scanned by Amtrak conductors.
