“As more customers continue to return to Metro-North this spring, we are thrilled to be able to offer more service on weekdays, including the restoration of many express trains,” said Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi. “The increase in service comes at a time when we have rolled out new fare discounts designed to welcome back more riders. Since the rollout, more than 250,000 rides have been purchased with 20-trip tickets. The 20-trip offers 20 percent off comparable 20-peak one-way fares when purchased through MTA eTix or at a ticket window and are valid for 60 days. The upcoming increase in weekday service follows the rollout of new fare discounts on the railroad, including a new 20-trip ticket. Customers can begin planning their trips on and use the new fare calculator feature to find the best trip and ticket option. The addition of more weekday trains brings the railroad’s weekday service to 89% of its pre-pandemic levels and restores pre-pandemic express service at several stations. The schedule changes include the addition of 66 weekday trains to Metro-North’s three East of Hudson lines. Metro-North Railroad today announced new train schedules taking effect on Sunday, March 27, are now available online.
