Monthly and Weekly tickets will increase by up to 4.5%
Thanks to the additional 10% discount implemented in March 2022, monthly and weekly fares will remain lower than they were pre-COVID.
Recognizing the exceptionally high fares in the farthest railroad zones, Monthly ticket fares will not exceed $500.
The discount for traveling off-peak will be standardized to 26% across both railroads. (Until now, Metro-North’s discount was 25% and LIRR’s 27.5%.)
This will lead to slightly higher increases of 6-7% on LIRR Off-Peak tickets and slightly lower increases of 2-3% on Metro-North Off-Peak tickets.
LIRR and Metro-North will continue to offer UniTicket fares to travel on both commuter rail and connecting bus and ferry services. Changes in those fares will be based in part on changes to weekly and monthly transit fares. One-way tickets for MTA-managed connecting services will also change.
Policies regarding the calculation of onboard fares and refunds will remain unchanged.
