EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2004

Coaster Conductors will honor any valid Amtrak Tickets for Surfliner or Amtrak Thruway Bus Travel, including one-way, ten-trip, and monthly passes on any Coaster Train that serves the same city pair.

Amtrak Tickets will be honored as follows:

1. Amtrak One-Way Tickets: Conductors must lift the transportation portion of the ticket and turn it in with their delay reports. This will insure that the ticket cannot be used for any other travel, exchange, or refund.

2. Amtrak Ten-Ride Tickets: The next un-punched or un-marked trip number must be punched out or marked out in ink and the ticket returned to the passenger. This will correctly reduce the number of remaining trips that the passenger may under-take on this ticket.

3. Amtrak Monthly Tickets: These are flash tickets similar to Coaster Monthlies. The tickets are simply to be honored after verifying that the pass is valid for the current month.

Amtrak ticket holders riding outside the limits of the city pair limits on their tickets may be subject to a citation under the Coaster Honor System. Coaster Conductors have the discretion and should opt to have the passenger purchase a Coaster Ticket for that portion of the trip traveled beyond the city pair limits of their ticket before issuing a citation.

The Coaster permits children less than five years of age to travel for free, including all passengers traveling with Amtrak tickets.

Coaster Conductors will indicate in the appropriately designated area of their delay reports the number of Amtrak riders that were aboard their specific train.

Note that Amtrak and Freight Railroad Employee Passes and tickets obtained with these passes are not valid for travel on any Coaster Train. Amtrak and Freight Railroad employees may only ride on Coaster Trains by presenting a proper Coaster ticket.
