FARE OPTIONS
UniTicket
UniTicket combines monthly bus and rail fare into one deeply-discounted
monthly ticket. No need to purchase two separate monthly passes.
It's a good reason to leave the car at home. No more worrying
about parking at the station! On the bus, it means no more fumbling
for change. It is good for unlimited monthly rides on CTTRANSIT, Milford, Norwalk, Danbury and Bridgeport transit
systems before and after your train trip. Your UniTicket may be purchased
at any Metro-North ticket office or through Mail & Ride, Metro-North's
ticket-by-mail program.
To find out how to convert your Mail & Ride monthly rail
ticket to a UniTicket, call (212) 340-2020. To get more information
about the UniTicket, call Metro-North at (800) METRO-INFO; in
New York City (212) 532-4900.
