5h agoNew schedules are now in effect designed to get
Metro-North riders in and out of Manhattan faster.
Metro-North is adding three express trains to
New York in the morning and three coming back in the evening.
They
only stop in New Haven, Bridgeport and Stamford.
The total travel time will be one hour and 39
minutes - the shortest trip in some 10 years.
"It's the ideal state because we're pretty densely
packed right now and there's only so much roads and bridges you can expand. So
what we got to do is get more people out of cars and into rail. And more
frequent, faster rail service is what Metro-North is all about," said Gov.
Ned Lamont.
Another three late-morning and mid-day roundtrips have also
been restored, and service on the Waterbury branch has been increased by nearly
50%.
