Baseball season begins on a positive note this year as the Angels score wins and the Angels Express attracts riders who want to leave their cars home and avoid traffic and parking fees. On Angels Express Fan Friday, April 11, there were nearly 2,000 boardings from Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire.
Throughout the season, OCTA is encouraging fans to board the Angels Express through a series of events and promotions. Those who share a photo of their game trip online can have it transformed into a customized trading card if the image garners enough votes. To get fans to play, only 10 votes are required through April. In May, the competition heats up; 20 votes will be needed to receive the customized card.
The OC Metrolink Facebook page is popular among Angels Express riders who visit the site for game reminders, photos, exclusive giveaways, and baseball activities. More than 1,800 new people have joined since February, bringing the fan base to more than 7,300.
To date in 2014, there have been nearly 5,300 boardings on the Angels Express. Learn more at octa.net/angelsexpress.
