With a potential strike threatening to cut off LIRR service this weekend, the Mets are offering additional transportation service options to Citi Field during the Subway Series.
With a possible strike on the horizon among Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) rail workers as early as Saturday, May 16, the New York Mets are encouraging fans who plan to attend Subway Series games against the Yankees this weekend to be familiar with and potentially plan to use one of the many alternate mass transportation options offered to and from Citi Field.
Among the broader transportation initiatives the Mets are offering this season are expanded ferry options from New Jersey, Staten Island and Connecticut, discounted off-site parking, $10 LYFT rebate codes and additional shuttle service from Long Island, New Jersey, the Bronx and Westchester.
In anticipation of a potential strike shutting down LIRR service, the Mets have added more shuttles to all Long Island game-day shuttle routes, as well as an additional shuttle line departing from the Manhasset LIRR station. The new shuttle line is intended to help fans who normally take the Port Washington LIRR line to and from Citi Field.
Round-trip shuttle tickets at the Manhasset station are $8.99 per person, or $25 for families of four. If a strike is averted and shuttle service is not needed from Manhasset, fans who already purchased tickets will be automatically refunded.
Near-capacity crowds are expected for each game of the Subway Series at Citi Field. It is recommended that fans plan ahead on how and when to get to the ballpark.
