Sunshine Express is the latest iteration of the Tycoon Express in Monopoly GO. It launched alongside the new Summer Escape sticker album. Like the Tycoon Express, this seasonal ranking system acts like a loyalty ladder, rewarding you for consistently playing the game.
The Sunshine Express features different train “classes” that reward you with goodies like dice rolls, sticker packs, tokens, and limited-edition cosmetics. The higher your class, the better your rewards, making every bit of progress worthwhile. If you’re still wondering how to advance in Monopoly GO’s Sunshine Express, read on.

How to Advance in Monopoly GO Sunshine Express
The only way to progress in Sunshine Express is by earning Express Coins through daily tournaments. The higher you place on the leaderboard, the more coins you’ll collect. As such, it’s a good idea to save dice for high-multiplier turns when you’re close to landing on Railroad tiles. This way, you’ll earn more points from Shutdown and Bank Heists and climb the leaderboard faster.
Express Coins are cumulative throughout the season. If you don’t reach the next class in one day, they will roll over to your total for the next day, making it easier to reach the next tier. Once you've upgraded to a new class, you cannot drop back down during that season.
Since the Sunshine Express is tied to the Summer Escape album, your classes will reset at the end of the season. This means everyone starts fresh with each new album, giving all players an equal chance to climb the ranks again.
How to Get More Express Coins for Sunshine Express
As mentioned above, daily tournaments are the only way to earn Express Coins. Your final ranking on the leaderboard determines how many coins you’ll receive. Top-ranking players earn the most Express Coins, while lower placements only get a small amount.
That being said, aiming for first place every single day isn’t always practical. Don’t burn through all your dice chasing the top spot, especially if the competition is fierce. Sometimes, getting a top 10 finish still gives you enough Express Coins to advance to the next class, without draining your resources.
Some experienced players also use a strategic approach by intentionally placing low in a few tournaments. This can sometimes lead to being matched with less competitive opponents in future events. While not guaranteed and slightly risky, this tactic can help if you're consistently up against high-scoring rivals.
