"Instead of locking riders into a there-and-back ticket, the new Day Pass will be valid from the moment of purchase until 4 am the following day. That means unlimited rides throughout the day, no stress about catching a specific return train and no penalties if plans change. If dinner runs late, you're covered. Miss your train? Still covered. The pricing is designed to soften the blow of January's fare increases."
"The Day Pass is part of a broader ticketing overhaul aimed at streamlining commuter rail travel. All one-way tickets, whether paper or mobile, will now be valid until 4 am the day after purchase and round-trip tickets will officially disappear. There's also a new mobile-only perk: after 10 peak or off-peak trips within 14 days, riders will receive an 11th trip free during that same window."
Unlimited Day Passes will replace round-trip tickets on LIRR and Metro-North beginning January 4, valid from purchase until 4 am the following day. The pass permits unlimited rides through the day, removing return-train scheduling constraints and penalties for changed plans. Weekday Day Pass pricing will be 10 percent less than two peak one-way fares, and weekend passes will equal the cost of two off-peak one-way fares. CityTicket and Far Rockaway riders will have unlimited versions priced at $14.50 peak and $10.50 off-peak. All one-way tickets will be valid until 4 am the next day, and a mobile-only reward gives an 11th free trip after ten rides within 14 days. Monthly and weekly fares rise 4.5 percent; some ticket types increase up to 8 percent.
