'Summer Saturday' discount for LIRR and Metro-North returns
NEW YORK (PIX11) -- To help people explore all that New York has to offer, "Summer Saturday" discounts are making a comeback for LIRR and Metro-North riders.
Monthly ticket holders for LIRR and Metro-North can bring up to two additional passengers for a $1 each on Saturdays, according to the announcement from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. The offer will run from this week and through Aug. 30.
"This is all about putting more money in New Yorkers’ pockets," said Hochul. "Whether it’s Long Island Beaches, Broadway shows and baseball games in the city, or hiking in the Hudson Valley, taking the train is the best way to get around."
Both railroads will honor all monthly tickets for travel between all stations during the time period.
Monthly tickets must be purchased on the 25th of the prior month.
