[tags]la county fair, metrolink, los angeles, commuter train, pomona[/tags]

The L.A. County Fair is here for the month of September, and you can get there car-free thanks to Metrolink! The San Bernardino Line has been tweaked this month to include a special L.A. County Fair stop and extended hours on Thursday through Sunday. According the Google Maps, the 28.5 mile driving trip from Union Station to the Fairplex can take up to 1 hour 10 minutes with traffic and per the AAA formula for driving cost would cost $31.32. Parking at the Fairplex will cost you $10. The trip from Union Station to the Fairplex on the Metrolink takes 45 minutes and the round trip cost for an adult is $13.50 on Thursday/Friday and $10.25 on the weekend ($6.75 for seniors and under-18 on the weekend). Also, Metrolink reminds you to buy your round trip pass at your home station, because the Fairplex station is temporary and thus has no ticket machines, so if you don’t buy a round trip you’ll be trapped in Pomona! Also, when you’re on the train, be on the look out for coupons for the LA County Fair.
