Calif.’s Metrolink commuter rail line announced that it’s now even easier to avoid traffic and purchase a ticket for commuter rail services with the introduction of Apple Pay® for the Metrolink mobile ticketing app. The addition of Apple Pay® enables customers to purchase tickets with just a tap, eliminating the need to type in any credit card numbers, billing info, or security codes to complete a transaction.
