ORANGE, Calif., Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Amtrak®
Pacific Surfliner® recently launched the California Everyday
Discounts program, offering year-round savings on train travel for
seniors, students, and passengers with disabilities. The Pacific
Surfliner route serves San Diego,
Orange County, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa
Barbara, and San Luis
Obispo, connecting nearly 3 million passengers a year to
many of Southern California's top
destinations.
"We are committed to enhancing the connectivity of the
communities we serve and are excited to launch the California
Everyday Discounts program to help make passenger rail service as
accessible as possible," said Bryan
MacDonald, chairman of the Los
Angeles – San Diego – San
Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency, which oversees the Pacific
Surfliner service.
The program was developed in coordination with the state's two
other intercity rail services and has been launched on the tails of
Amtrak's recent changes to its nationwide everyday discounts.
"While it's important for us to increase ridership and improve
farebox cost recovery for our service, we are proud to be able to
maintain the best possible fares for our passengers who have come
to rely on these discounts," MacDonald said.
