So the train #6547 was arriving at Grand Central Terminal at 6:15 on July 4. The conductor was named Chris, the passenger was named Andrew. I heard them because they chatted for about five minutes. Conductor Chris said nothing at all about Andrew’s big feet being up on the seat in front of him. Really?

What an absolute nightmare Metro North is tonight. Trains are pretty much at a standstill, with multiple trees down. Had to Uber home… Good luck to everyone still on a train.

Friday afternoon at GCT, on one of the Harlem line trains a kid around 20 years old was hunched in his seat vaping (before the train left the station). I was not in the mood to move so I told him if he did not stop vaping I would throw him off the train.
He threw a hissy fit for a minute, got up, acted angry, but then he moved to another car.
Did I overreact? What would you have done in this situation?

This is a long shot but hoping it works. My girlfriend and I were on the train car with the man who was electrocuted in Southport last week. There was a woman who was being shouted out by the man and came to sit between us for protection. This was minutes before the man died.

We would love to talk to her to check in. We are both pretty traumatized. Does anyone know this woman and can help up get in touch? She is in her 20s or 30s and was on her way to the airport to fly to England to visit her sister. I don’t know if we’ll find her but I appreciate the help in advance.

Are you letting off duty fire/ems ride free with IDs?

Hi,

I'm going to NYC with friends from Montpelier VT and our plan is to drive part of the way then take a metro north train. Parking at somewhere like new haven for 5 days is really expensive, and wondering any tips for our best way to get down. I'm looking at west haven parking which would only be $8 a day as opposed to 20, but wondering if theres anything I havent dug deep enough on the internet for.

Thanks!

Apologies if this has been covered already, but I took the MTA for the first time in a long while, and unless I missed something obvious, buying round-trip tickets is no longer an option? The screen interface was different too. I ended up buying two one-way tickets.

Assuming one adult has a valid ticket for part of the trip. Can they buy other tickets for remaining party without any surcharges? Or if they want to buy an extension for their ticket?
