Speaking to a meeting of the Long Island Association Wednesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said $5.6 billion in upgrades will transform the Long Island Rail Road and help make up for decades of neglect. The work will involve laying 10 miles of new track to ease congestion along the busiest part of the rail road, along with the replacement of 20 miles of aging track. Stations will be renovated, parking will be added and signal switches and other equipment will be upgraded. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
The MTA’s is eliminating the LIRR’s 20-Trip Ticket as part of its latest fare increases
The fare discount program was launched in March 2022 to appeal to commuters who were no longer going into the office five days a week and, as such, did not need a monthly pass. LIRR ticket sales fell when people stopped commuting full time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
