Back for the fourth year in a row, the popular Angels Express begins the season on March 31. Fans can jump on the Orange Line to ride this special Metrolink train to all Angels weekday home games that start at 7:05 p.m. and the Inland Empire-Orange County Line to travel to every Friday night game.
Funded by the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Committee (MSRC), the Angels Express helps take cars off the road by providing safe, convenient public transportation directly to the stadium in Anaheim. Fans save money on parking and gas and enjoy a great evening at the ballpark while leaving their cars behind. Last year, Angels Express trains had more than 34,000 boardings.
To generate enthusiasm and build engagement prior to the first train of the season, OCTA launched a special pre-season giveaway. Fans had the chance to win game tickets, merchandise, train tickets and more by filling out a raffle form at each of OCTA’s seven digital platforms, including OCTA.net, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, email, and OCTA blog.
Fans embraced the opportunity to be part of the buildup to the Angels Express and win baseball-related prizes. During the two-week campaign, more than 1,500 unique participants completed one or more entry forms, and 900 signed up to receive emails from OCTA about the Angels Express. Moreover, the OC Metrolink Facebook page grew by 20% during the promotion, reaching more than 6,300 fans.
