Fans Can Get to Games via Subway, Commuter Rail, Bus, and Paratransit
Extra Trains Added for Subway Series to Handle Sold-Out Crowds
As the Yankees and the Mets look to continue their heated rivalry, public transit is the fastest, safest and greenest way to get to Citi Field for the three-day Subway Series starting this Friday, July 4 at 3:10 p.m., through Sunday, July 6.
New York City Transit will stage extra subway trains nearby that can be dispatched to the station quickly to handle the overflow crowd.
Here are details of game-day service to Citi Field:
New York City Subway and Buses
The Mets-Willets Point station is right in front of Citi Field on Roosevelt Avenue near 126th Street. Fans can always take either the local or the express to reach Mets-Willets Point.
Pre-game Queens-bound service is scheduled to operate approximately every 2-4 minutes with express trains making local stops between Queensboro Plaza and 74 St-Broadway due to ongoing structural work.
Extra Manhattan-bound service will operate after the game express to 61 St-Woodside and then making local stops to 34 St-Hudson Yards. As a reminder, all Manhattan bound trains skip 69 St and 52 St due to ongoing station improvements.
The Q90 bus stops at Seaver Way and Roosevelt Avenue or Seaver Way and 35 Ave, right in front of Citi Field. Customers can use the real-time bus ridership tracking feature on the MTA app before boarding.
Customers can use the MTA’s contactless fare payment system OMNY to get to the games. Every tap to and from Citi Field is another step closer to the “Lucky 13” feature where, starting with the 13th ride of each week, every additional ride on subways or buses is free for the rest of that week.
Long Island Rail Road
The LIRR provides direct service to the Mets-Willets Point station all season long via the Port Washington Branch, just a 19-minute ride from Penn Station and Grand Central Madison. Citi Field is just 18 minutes from Great Neck and 28 minutes from Port Washington. Fans traveling from Long Island on other branches can reach Citi Field by changing at Woodside, just a seven-minute ride to the stadium.
Metro-North Railroad
Mets fans from the Bronx, the Hudson Valley or Connecticut can catch any Metro-North train to Grand Central and transfer to the train or the LIRR to Citi Field.
Access-A-Ride
Access-A-Ride paratransit has a designated stop at Citi Field located at 41 Seaver Way (126th St and 37th Ave), south of the Bullpen Gate in the Passenger Loading Zone (second cut out) directly in front of the AMWAY awning. Customers have ample shelter and a clear sight line of 126th street from Bullpen Gate.
To book a trip customers can call (877)-337-2017, use MyAAR or the MTA app.
