Metro-North riders urged to check updated time tables as essential service schedule takes effect

Metro-North riders are urged to check updated time tables now that the railroad's essential service schedule is in effect.
The agency says the biggest impact will be felt by riders during the midday, and other non-peak times, when trains will be limited.
This weekend, the company will run its regular weekend schedule, then change to an hourly schedule for weekends beginning April 4.
Officials are asking only riders who must go to Manhattan and cannot drive take the train.
Everyone else is urged to stay home.
