Metro-North Train Schedule Changes for Pope’s Visit on Thursday & Friday
|
An announcement from Metro-North (we’ve shortened it slightly to remove information on lines other than the New Haven Line, see the full announcement here):
Pope Francis will arrive in New York on Thursday, Sept. 24, and will have a full schedule of events across the city on Friday, Sept. 25, including afternoon Mass at Madison Square Garden. People who can avoid traveling into Manhattan on those days should do so, since many street closures near those locations will result in traffic congestion and pedestrian diversions. Customers should buy round-trip tickets in advance and expect crowded conditions.
