On the LIRR, you can use CityTicket for trips within Zone 1 or between Zones 1 and 3 (see station lists and map for details); on MNR, you can use CityTicket for trips on Hudson or Harlem line trains between the Bronx and Manhattan. Other low fare programs -- including Family Fare, reduced-fare programs for senior citizens and people with disabilities, certain WebTickets, LIRR's $2.50 off-peak fare for travel within Zone 3, and MNR's $2.25 intermediate fare that is valid at all times for travel within the Bronx -- remain in effect. Buying a CityTicket You can purchase tickets at New York City LIRR or MNR ticket windows or ticket machines at stations in the program. Not all stations have ticket windows open on weekends, but all stations have ticket machines. LIRR tickets may be purchased with cash or personal checks at ticket windows or with cash or credit/debit/ATM cards at ticket machines. MNR tickets may be purchased with cash or credit/debit/ATM cards at both ticket windows and ticket machines. You cannot use MetroCard to pay for CityTicket. CityTicket cannot be purchased on board a train; if you buy tickets on board the train you have to pay the full on-board off-peak fare. Tickets go on sale at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday through 11:59 p.m. on Sunday and must be used on the day of purchase.
