MTA Metro-North Railroad Announces Special Martin Luther King Day Schedule

            On Monday January 21, the Martin Luther King holiday, Metro-North Railroad will operate on an enhanced Saturday schedule.  Off-peak fares will be in effect all day.

            Because of lighter-than-normal peak period ridership, Metro-North will not operate a normal weekday schedule, but there will be more trains than a normal Saturday schedule.

            The special schedule is available on the web, both on Metro-North’s home page and on its station-to-station schedule page.  A customer seat notice also was distributed on all trains.

            Customers travelling on this day should check the website at www.mta.info or call 1-800-Metro-Info for schedule information.
