Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law, in relation to tickets purchased for the Long Island Rail Road and the Metro-North Commuter Railroad Company
AI Summary
This bill directs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to create a new, more affordable ticket option that allows passengers to transfer seamlessly between the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and Metro-North Commuter Railroad trains within city limits. The combination ticket would be valid for both peak (rush hour) and off-peak (non-rush hour) train services, potentially making commuting more convenient and cost-effective for New York City area travelers. Currently, passengers typically need to purchase separate tickets for each railroad, which can be more expensive. By mandating this new ticket type, the bill aims to reduce transportation costs and simplify travel for commuters who may need to use multiple rail services during their journey. The bill would take effect 30 days after becoming law, requiring the MTA to develop and implement the new ticket system within that timeframe.
