Subways, Buses, and Paratransit Provide Convenient Service to All Mets Home Games
Hudson Valley Customers Can Connect with LIRR Service at Grand Central to Citi Field
Ahead of the New York Mets’ home opener on Thursday, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is reminding fans that public transit is the fastest and most environmentally friendly way to get Citi Field for the 2023-2024 season. With the opening of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) terminal at Grand Central, Mets fans anywhere in the MTA region have easy transit access to Citi Field for the first time ever.
The MTA will provide the following service options to get to all New York Mets home games.
Metro-North Railroad
The opening of Grand Central Madison makes it easier than ever for Mets fans in Metro-North territory to get to the game. Customers can take a one-seat ride into Grand Central and finish their trip either on the LIRR or the train. Either option can get a customer to the stadium in 30 minutes from Grand Central.
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. Fans traveling from Long Island on other branches can reach Citi Field by changing at Woodside, just a five-minute ride from the stadium.
New York City Subway and Buses
The Mets-Willets Point subway station is right in front of Citi Field on Roosevelt Av near 126 St. Fans can always take either the local or the express train to reach Mets-Willets Point.
The Q48 bus stops at 126 St and Roosevelt Av, right in front of Citi Field. Customers can use the real-time bus ridership tracking feature on the MYmta app before boarding.
Access-A-Ride
Access-A-Ride paratransit has a designated stop at Citi Field located at 41 Seaver Way (126 St and 37 Av), 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 126 St from Bullpen Gate.
