"How do I get a Metro North Train pass? The MTA's website didn't offer too many clues (although they did have useful tidbits like ""no riders may sit on the roof of subways, trains or buses operated by the authority"").

Hi Bill,
I recently got a pass at Grand Central. If you go to the ticket counters, there is a window on the left end of the counter that you ring a bell for service. You can fill out the form and pay the $5 fee right there and get the pass immediately. If you can not locate it, anyone at the information booth can direct you.
Hope this helps and Happy New Year!

MTA Bike Permits
Hi Bill,
I complied the LIRR and Metro North links for the club roster /info sheet. They don't work verbatim but if you
click on www.mta.info, you will see a drop down menu and you can select a train and see info on bike permits.
In fact, the bike permit is called the MTA bike permit, covering both lines. The old separate train permits, are still valid.
I will reflect this on the next roster / info listing.
Apologies,
Alfredo
