Long Island Railroad Question

I'm new at this LIRR commuting thing. Can someone please tell me if the 10-trip ticket is good during peak hours? Do you have to use it during the span of one week?

I don't know how the 10-trip thing works, but my DH commutes to the city every day and buys a monthly ticket. His company also gives him pre-tax transit checks, so he uses those for the subway. Then his LIRR ticket and his MetroCard are both the same (one on either side)....

Happy commuting!!

there is the monthky tckt...good for the entire month as much as you want to ride.

The weekly...good for 7 days riding

the 10 trip...is good for 10 trips anytime. I think you have a year to use the trips!!

Hope that helps!

Re: Long Island Railroad Question

If you use your 10-trip during peak hours, you would pay the difference in the fares to the conductor (step-up fare) but you won't have to pay the on-train purchase penalty since you have a ticket already.

I was trying to save money on the commuting cost since I can sometimes catch a ride with hubby into Queens.

So there is a step-up fare during peak hours? Bummer! I guess then I have to do monthly?

Tammy yes I moved It's official as of yesterday.

Christine is right, the 10 trip's are subject to the step up peak fares
