CityTicket
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cityticket is a program instituted by the MTA in 2004 that allows a person to ride the Metro-North Railroad or the Long Island Rail Road between any two points within the borders of New York City, for a reduced $3.00 fare. This is valid on Saturdays and Sundays only.
On the LIRR, CityTicket can be used for trips within Zone 1 (City Terminal Zone) or between Zones 1 and 3, including a change of trains at Jamaica station for travel continuing in the same direction. On Metro-North you can use CityTicket for trips on Hudson Line and Harlem Line trains between the Bronx and Manhattan.
CityTicket is not valid for travel to the Far Rockaway Long Island Rail Road station, because the line passes through Nassau County, in Long Island, or for travel to the Shea Stadium and Belmont Park stations which are only open for special events. Metro-North CityTicket is not valid on New Haven Line trains between Manhattan and Fordham Station.
Its introductory fare was $2.50. The CityTicket fare was raised to $3.00 effective March 5, 2005.
