Peter Parsons and Mojdeh Zolfaghari have something in common. Until March 30, they both were frequent riders who commuted to and from work on Metrolink’s Orange County Line – Parsons for nearly 12 years and Zolfaghari for 11 months. They also stopped riding Metrolink trains for the same reason: work relocation.
Parsons described his Metrolink experience as simply fun, and he also offered his take on why people should ride Metrolink trains. “It’s cheaper than driving, it’s much more relaxing, you meet a lot of nice people and you’ll always have a lot of nice friends to remember when the days of riding are over,” he said.
When recalling her time as a rider, Zolfaghari thinks back to the connection she made with other riders. “You get to know everyone, you bond with them and you become good friends. Every morning you look forward to seeing them, and every afternoon you look forward to riding with them, so I’m gonna miss it,” she said. Zolfaghari plans to ride Metrolink trains again when the opportunity presents itself. “It’s the best experience. I hope everyone uses the transportation. It’s available for everyone,” she said.
