Train schedules will be changed for the holidays and reservations are required to keep the car capacity spaced out enough for health care during the pandemic.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The coronavirus version of holiday travel should come in a handbook as green as the Grinch. Nothing feels like it should be.
First comes the warnings from every health officials to stay home and stay away from others.
Then come the cutbacks in travel services.
If you are traveling in a mass transit mode, there are checkpoints and mandatory guidelines that will make most of your trip more of a task, than a happy holiday sing-a-long.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - With one of the largest holidays of the year just a day away, getting around and conducting business before and on the holiday can be tricky to navigate with what is closed and open.
The North County Transit District will have a normal service schedule for Christmas Eve. However, the Amtrak R2R partnership with NCTD which allows Coaster customers to travel on Amtrak trains in the San Diego area will be blacked out through Monday. During this time, all Amtrak Pacific Surfliner customers will be required to show a valid Amtrak fare and no COASTER passes will be accepted.
Metrolink will operate regularly scheduled service on both Christmas Eve and New Year s Eve.
Following Christmas Day, regular Metrolink service resumes on Saturday, Dec. 26, and on Jan. 2 after New Year s Day.
Also, in response to the cancellation of the Tournament of Roses Parade, Metrolink will not operate early morning trains on either the Antelope Valley Line or the San Bernardino Line as has been offered in previous years on New Year s Day.
Amtrak will suspend the Rail 2 Rail program aboard all Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains between Oceanside and Ventura from Wednesday, Dec. 23, through Monday, Dec. 28.
During non-blackout dates, the Rail 2 Rail program allows Metrolink Monthly Pass holders along the Orange County and Ventura County line corridors to travel on Amtrak Pacific Surfliner trains within the station pairs of their pass at no additional charge.
