"Just this week, we released six super express trains,"
"Poughkeepsie to Grand Central Station; five of those are less than 90 minutes."
"What I can say is on the New Haven super expresses, we did see a 10% increase in ridership on those trains,"
"I think every minute counts, right? So, saving 14 minutes off your trip every single day is huge. As much as people love riding Metro-North, I think they'll love being with their family and friends and using that time for other things."
MTA Metro-North Railroad introduced six super-express trains, enabling faster service between Poughkeepsie and Grand Central Station. Five of the new Poughkeepsie super-express trains now complete the trip in under 90 minutes, meeting a gubernatorial challenge to reduce travel time from the Hudson Valley. Early monitoring shows increased ridership on adjacent routes, including a reported 10% rise on New Haven super-express trains. Officials emphasize the travel-time savings—about 14 minutes on some trips—offer commuters more personal time and could encourage greater use of Metro-North services.
