Metro-North unlimited day pass.

Starting on January 4, 2026, the MTA is rolling out a brand-new unlimited Day Pass on the LIRR and Metro-North—and with it, quietly retiring the old round-trip ticket. The shift helps to simplify how riders move around the region, while offering more flexibility and, in many cases, modest but real savings. The new Day Pass will be valid from the moment of purchase until 4 am the following day. That means unlimited rides throughout the day, no stress about catching a specific return train, and no penalties if plans change.
