It's going to cost more to take the train in the new year. There's new rules as well as prices hikes for Metro-North and LIRR riders in 2026. The MTA says small fare increases are needed to keep up with inflation and some commuters think that's fine if service improves. Also new? Mobile and paper one-way and round trip tickets expire at 4 a.m. the next day. #nyc #LIRR #transit
