Changes to how you ride:
Subways
Starting Tuesday, March 24, you’ll make MetroCard transactions at MetroCard Vending machines only. This will help limit person-to-person contact for our station agents. Reduced-fare cash transactions can still be made at the booth.
Buses
The MTA has initiated a new rear-door boarding policy to keep riders and operators at a safe distance.
Board local and SBS buses through the back door. Riders with mobility impairments and all express bus riders can board through the front door.
LIRR and Metro-North
You cannot pay with cash on trains or at ticket windows. You can still use cash at ticket vending machines.
Access-A-Ride
MTA is no longer scheduling shared rides. You can still travel with a personal care attendant or guest.
