The Long Island Rail Road strike has ended, and service has resumed.
On May 20, 2026, the MTA Board approved a refund for LIRR customers who hold May monthly tickets for the four days that service was suspended due to a labor action. That would amount to an approximately 13% refund.
The refund will be automatically applied to a customers’ payment method if tickets were purchased in the TrainTime app. If you purchased via a commuter benefits card, the refund will be applied there. If you purchased a paper ticket at a ticket vending machine, there will be an application process for refunds; check back soon for details.
