Beginning June 9, the $10 weekend fare will be valid for all Commuter Rail zones from the first scheduled Saturday trip through the last scheduled Sunday trip. The $10 fare will be available on the mTicket mobile app, on board trains, and at ticket windows at North, South, and Back Bay Stations. The special fare applies to customers age 12 and above; paying adults can bring 2 children under 12 for free.It's an experimental service, which will expire at Labor Day. (Shades of the seasonal Bar Harbor and East Wind of days gone by.)
Metra's weekend pass is available all year 'round, there are even special three day passes for some of the holiday weekends. Perhaps someday in Bean Town.
Oh, there is additional fine print. "The fare does not apply to the CapeFlyer, operated through a partnership with the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, or special-event trains." The Metra weekend pass is not good on the South Shore, or the Hiawatha.
