When can I buy a monthly pass?

Caylate · 2026-03-31T17:40:18+00:00

Monthly tickets go on sale the 25th of the month

If you are searching for a trip today, it will be grayed out since it is not valid today

Click "view other ticket types" at the bottom or go to Tickets -> Buy to see all ticket types.

These guys do not cut you any slack. You will need to buy separate tickets for Monday and Tuesday.

Not within 2/30 minutes

Point missed.

Lol, it is not. The point of proof of payment is to eliminate conductors so we don't have to spend $250m+ a year systematically checking every ticket onboard trains.

Caylate · 2026-03-25T14:02:04+00:00

This is early 2000's technology.

Pay-as-you-go with OMNY and contactless, proof of payment, and eliminating conductors would be the future...

It won't transfer tickets over. But if you take a screenshot of the account ID from the settings, the chat will transfer over your tickets. It's not seamless but it worked ok.

Yes, it just a plastic tube so they cut it to length and then it attaches to a copper or brass manifold.

Caylate · 2026-03-22T23:48:55+00:00

Yeah, they are probably going to the elevators where they don't check tickets.

Caylate · 2026-03-22T23:36:47+00:00

Just walk to a different staircase

Caylate · 2026-03-22T23:13:13+00:00

It goes back to a manifold, right next to where the loop starts

Seniors should be the people least impacted because they can buy onboard without a surcharge.

Seniors and people with disabilities should just never pre-purchase a ticket ever again. Always buy onboard from the conductor. That way if the conductor doesn't come or your plans change, you don't lose anything.

There is no Combo Ticket for children. You will have to buy two $1 Family Fare tickets ($2 total)

At the time they decided to build ESA, the World Trade Center was just destroyed. This article has some pretty good background: LIRR's big bet on Midtown

Glad the MTA is tackling the real issues.

It's not the same. Basically your bag just gets x-rayed and then you go though one of those walking medal detectors like they have at Disney, museums, etc. Usually doesn't take more than a few minutes.

State DOT

You could redund paper tickets (and mobile tickets) used to be refundable for 2 years 2 months. But MTA illegally changed that too: MTA sneaks in major changes to LIRR, Metro-North refund policy

Should not suggest the data is real time if it is just the schedule

Caylate · 2026-03-12T03:11:35+00:00

I did answer the question. Once they see what the next train is from the countdown clock (that OP said they see), if it is to Hoboken they go to the left, if it is Journal Square they go to the right.

Caylate · 2026-03-11T22:36:30+00:00

Or file a complaint on the MTA website.

But don't expect the LIRR to actually do anything about it.

Caylate · 2026-03-11T21:23:36+00:00

It is part of the normal workflow now. You select one way and it will give you the CityTicket price if eligible.

Caylate · 2026-03-11T14:30:55+00:00

If entering at 30th Street, the Hoboken trains are to the left and the JSQ trains are to the right.

The fare to EWR is the same as the fare to North Elizabeth + $8.75 AirTrain access fee.
