Significant breakthrough in the SGV fare war. thesource.metro.net/2012/06/07/transportation-headlines-thursday-june-7/According to The Source, Foothill Transit will drop its Silver Streak fare to $2.45 - same as Metro Silver Line. But more importantly, Foothill and Metro will both accept proof of payment from the other agency so effectively, this will interline the Silver Streak and Silver Line services between El Monte Bus Depot and Union Station. During peak hours, this means the frequency nearly doubles between El Monte Bus Depot and Union Station as riders can board the first bus rather than wait for the Metro or Foothill bus base on which ticket/daily/weekly/monthly pass they carry. It's little unclear if Foothill will accept Metro monthly pass if you board at Montclair or Pomona; or if Metro will accept Foothill monthly pass at Artesia/Gateway Transit Center. But if they do, you could travel from Montclair to Gardena for only $2.45. Edit: I added this post to the existing Silver Line thread so if moderator wants to delete, please feel free...
