Hat tip to DDG
Now lets make fare evasion legal since we clearly don’t enforce the rules, might as well
Rail thieves vandalizing trains in Los Angeles County “are generally caught and released back onto the streets in less than twenty-four hours”, in a statement by Union Pacific. In October 2021, UP experienced a 356% increase in criminal rail theft in LA County compared to October 2020. https://twitter.com/johnschreiber/status/1481770722271760384
“We’re sorry, this offer has expired.”
Offer expired. If you live within a few miles of a train station you will get a postcard in the mail every year or two also offering a train ride, so it is not much of a loss.
Signed up, got an email right away telling me I’ll get a text soon and then the promo codes came via text about 5 min after
Received the text with the promo codes after about five minutes. Thanks DoC!
Sorry I missed this!!
I did this promo a few years ago, ended up giving my tix to a friendly Chase banker who set me up with a $600 promo. But yeah, no one pays for trains in L.A. We’re all hobos.
Lies. But to what end?
Trying to dis – credit DOC?
If they run their trains like they run their promos I don’t know if I want to try them
Not sure if it’s worth it but, if you look at the Terms & Conditions, it shows a number to call if codes aren’t received. (I’m guessing they didn’t come through for any of us.)
It’s saying the offer has expired.
