Purchase Your Ticket

• • After purchasing train tickets online, passengers will receive their E-ticket as a JPG attachment to an email receipt.
  • Passengers should either print or store the E-ticket on their smart phone or mobile device to enable off-line scanning and validation.
  • Those passengers making a bus connection must print their E-Ticket to present to the bus driver.

Board Your Train

• • Once passengers have purchased their E-ticket and have their smart phone or mobile device in hand, they are ready to board the train.

Present Your E-ticket

• • Passengers using their smart phone, laptop, or other mobile device can present their E-ticket to the ticket agent by simply opening the JPG E-ticket image file from their email or desktop to display the barcode for scanning.
  • A valid photo ID must be presented along with the E-ticket to the ticket agent.
  • If you must, please enlarge the barcode image so that both the E-ticket barcode and passenger name are fully visible and legible.
  • Please be ready to present your E-ticket to the ticket agent upon request. Even if you are a daily rider, and hold a monthly pass, you must still present that ticket to the ticket agent. Many of you are familiar with the ticket agent who works on your train, but they are still required to check your tickets - it is their job! Please don't make their jobs difficult for them.
