The Long Island Rail Road (or LIRR) is a commuter rail that goes through Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk. It's a great way to see the areas east of New York City (which is Long Island). I use it to go to Far Rockaway beach, Citifield for a Mets game, and Billie Jean King/Arthur Ashe for the US Open Tennis. But how do you take the LIRR? How do you ride the Long Island Rail Road? In this video, I'm going to cover everything you need to know about the Long Island Rail Road - from defining what it is to buying a ticket from a machine or phone, finding and boarding your train, figuring out transfers, and so much more. Enjoy and Happy New York-ing!

@mirzaahmed6589 7 месяцев назад

That's because Penn Station is a through station. Trains arrive from and leave to all directions. They cannot announce tracks in advance because you cannot assign one before the train gets near. Grand Central is a terminal, basically a train yard surrounded by a station. With 67 tracks, there is no shortage of tracks to store and dispatch trains from. They can easily announce tracks hours in advance since there are no competing services trying to arrive and occupy the same tracks.

@hongliangliu8742 2 года назад

City ticket now costs $5 and now can be used on all off-peak trains. Zone 3 stations are all covered by City Ticket.

@MrSuperpiff4 4 месяца назад

Great video! SMALL CORRECTIONS: The LIRR"S "City Terminal Zone" IS NOT THE SAME as CityTicket's range. The CityTicket (peak & off-peak) can be used to go between any stops within the LEGAL LIMITS of New York City. This means that a CityTicket can take you east of Jamaica/Woodside all the way to/from Queens Village, Little Neck, Rosedale, or (as of 2023) Far Rockaway. Since Far Rockaway is both in NYC and the terminus (end) of the Far Rockaway Branch, the MTA has made it so CityTickets can only be purchased at that station and not the Long Island stations later down that branch. UPDATES: 1. The LIRR finally now runs into Grand Central Terminal, part of the City Terminal Zone. The LIRR terminal is much deeper than the rest of GCT, the LIRR service is only by electric trains NOT diesel services (must transfer), and service is less frequent than Penn Station. 2. Atlantic Shuttle is primarily served by shuttle mandating a Jamaica transfer for most customers, and 3. The aforementioned CityTicket now includes the Far Rockaway station. Minor nitpick: Ronkonkoma is pronounced Ron-KONG-kə-mə. Emphasis on the KONG, and the "Koma" is said like K-ah-ma. Listen to the automatic announcements on the LIRR M3 trains, the way he pronounces it is a local favorite. Otherwise great video.

@ChasMusic Год назад

¡Very helpful! Also, don't confuse Port Washington and Port Jefferson, very different lines. A gotcha on the Port Jefferson line is that you sometimes have to change trains again at Huntington, from an electric train to a diesel. The catch is, at least when I made that trip, that the diesel train was a lot shorter than the electric train and there was no indication on the platform that the boarding area for the train was much shorter, so I found myself running for the train even though I had been waiting for several minutes for it to arrive. No fun.

The train had rattan seats and a raised center roof with ventilation slots on each side and a single wide door on each end. The air whistle was the hoot sound, the same as the Pennsylvania R.R electric commuter trains and both3 trains looked alike except for different colors and the Long Island using 3rd rail and the other using overhead wires.

@timhershel2940 2 года назад

Some trains that go through Jamaica at peak hours do not stop at Jamaica. Those are flyers. The best way to know at Penn if it stops at Jamaica is to see if the sign shows the Air train logo. Also you should never use 3rd party apps like city mapper for the LIRR. Many times they will show incorrect information if there are service changes on the weekend. Or it will tell you to transfer to a train that does not hold the connection.

@russellgxy2905 Год назад

Long Island has some places of historic interest, some nice seaside villages (The Hamptons) and some nice beaches (though you won’t be there during the summer months). However, it’s largely suburban-once you arrive by LIRR, it’s difficult to get around without a car. You may need to rely on taxis or Uber/Lyft.

Hi from near Hicksville, Long Island, NY. I've grown up and lived around here awhile but I want to move closer to the city. This video was well explained. Long Island gets a bad reputation, and I have a lot of issues with it. But, you are right. Go explore. There is a lot to see and do on Long Island. And, yes, the train costs a lot, but if you buy a few tickets at a time, the cost comes down dramatically. I buy a 20 trip Hicksville to Penn station for about $230. You get a discount, and it works out to about $6 a ride. Not bad at all. Yes, the schedules can be confusing. I also recommend looking at the time of the departing train. They will usually be time specific and so if you walk through penn station, you can find that exact time on the schedule board and just go to that track. Also, Woodside does have a connection to the #7 subway that you can take to flushing. Great video!

@today273 2 года назад

Thank you for RU-vid's best LIRR explainer. I only had to take it briefly last year, when I was interviewing for a job in Nassau. The trains are nice, as is Jamaica station. (note: you can get to J-stay by subway! J and E lines.) By far the only awful thing on LIRR is the high, variable prices, compared to the subway. I understand it costs more to run longer train lines for fewer people. But then there are like 20 different prices listed and you have to find the right one for your journey, which to me adds another $2 of effort to deciding whether to take the train. I don't think before taking the subway, but on LIRR I have to add math to my commute. ugh! I also originally found this channel thru TrainTube! I hadn't even been looking for videos about my own city, I watch a lot of public transit content (mostly Canadians). I like how, when you say "We have yet to find the perfect transit system" that a subscribe button appeared over your shoulder. Beautiful 🙌

@EscapingtheEmptyNest 2 года назад

@@UrbanCaffeine Like I said in my video, It's FAST once you get to Woodside (like 10 minutes) but it costs more to get from LGA to Midtown because you don't get the free transfer from the q70. From LGA, you have to stay on the q70 another stop, and you wind up at Woodside. From there, the LIRR is a non stop ride all the way to Penn Station. If you are heading to the Penn station area or catching an amtrak from there, it's an option worth considering.

This is an amazing tutorial, but if i were to be honest, I would hop on the bus at Jamaica to get to Flushing instead of backtracking via Woodside. There are a handful of buses that go from Jamaica to Flushing (e.g. Q44-SBS, Q17, Q20A/B, Q25/65.) Sure it might be a bit slower, but it shaves lots of time off of what would be an unnecessary backtrack.

Most electric lines do have trains that run into Penn station. It's the diesel lines that don't have this option. Same holds true for NJ transit. However, NJ transit lines are shifting to dual mode locomotives, so that 1 seat rides are possible in the same direction. The NYC regional rail system is almost 200 miles from Montauk in the east to High bridge in the west. That's almost the distance from Ann Arbor to Chicago. In the future, I'm hoping a cross region Amtrak route could be run from one endpoint to the other with fewer stops (Like Trenton to Ronkonkoma or Babylon to Morristown).

@UrbanCaffeine 2 года назад

Thanks for this info! I wish we had bullet trains that go from coast to coast. I'm not a fan of flying.

@adithyaramachandran7427 2 года назад

@@UrbanCaffeine Have to disagree on coast to coast bullet trains, planes make sense there. But regional HSR makes a lot of sense. Taking a train from DC to Pittsburgh via Shenandoah and Allegheny valley makes sense than flying and is much more scenic. But no passenger rail corridor exists between the 2, let alone high speed. In the 1950's B&O had many passenger trains serving the 2 cities. They weren't HSR, but the frequency was reasonable with 10 trains at different times of day, so people used them.

@timhershel2940 2 года назад

There are a handful of diesel LIRR trains on the schedule that go into Penn. But it is pretty rare. They are even more rare nowadays.

@russellgxy2905 Год назад

Well...technically they do. There are plenty of trains that start in Diesel territory but end up in New York Penn. LIRR has a number of Dual-Mode locomotives that can run on third rail whenever they need to use the East River tunnels (I don't think they use it anywhere else since Electric mode limits their speed and power). If you see a train of bilevel cars with a "500" locomotive pulling or pushing, then it can go to Penn. Also, NJT has been able to run trains to direct Penn for awhile using Dual-Modes. I think the only lines where this can't physically be done is the Pascack, Bergen, and Main/Port Jervis lines. But at least Secaucus is still an option

When did you move to the city?

@HT-CHITOWN Год назад

when i check fare information, system gives me same fare from port washington to penn station / port washington to woodside. do i need to by new ticket from woodside to penn station? or i need to wait at same platform without ticket?

@UrbanCaffeine Год назад

Hi there. The fare is the same because both Woodside and Penn Station are in the same zone. If you are coming from Port Washington headed to Penn Station, you can just stay on the train. No need to get off at Woodside.

The East Side Access Project Underground Train Tunnel should be Extended to Hicksville Train Station. An Underground Train Station Should be Built Under Hicksville Train Station. Thus turning the Hicksville Train Station Into a New Jamaica Train Station.

So if I’m going to Mets-Willett from Penn station, do I have to transfer from wood side to the port Washington branch? Or will it have its own track at Penn station?

@UrbanCaffeine 2 года назад

Hello 👋 There's a Port Washington train from Penn station. No need to transfer.

If i am staying at a hotel located at 28th street in manhattan, is taking the LIRR the best route to penn station?

@UrbanCaffeine 2 года назад

Depending on where you are on 28th, you can probably walk to Penn Station. Or you can take the subway. The LIRR is meant for traveling longer distances east of Manhattan.

Hi, may I ASK if E Train terminal is also on PENN STATION? Because I was told by my hotel to take E train from Jamaica and get off at 42nd st. and transfer to number 1 train. Can I take the LIRR ? I'M going to Amsterdam ave. this Dec. May I know the weather in New York as I'll be arriving in tropical country. Appreciate your advice and Thank you so much GOD BLESS Merry Christmas

@UrbanCaffeine Год назад

Hi there. Yes, the E is at Penn Station. But the 1 train runs along Amsterdam Ave. That's probably why they told you to take the E and transfer to the 1. And the weather is pretty cold right now, around 30-50F.
